While we cannot share physical space, we are glad to present these virtual presentations to continue to engage in conversation and thrive in community with one another.

Co-Directors Michelle and Toru will share their creative journey and inspirations, from past projects to recent works and events, inviting viewers into their evolving process to create a new space for community, storytelling, and performance.
