With the actor is born the theatre. The actor is theatre. We are all actors: we are theatre!

The housing project​

The Housing Project involves a series of performances focusing on Housing Precarity and Homelessness. It includes Wrap-Around Unpacking Workshops that establish a community feedback loop for knowledge sharing, building awareness, and enhancing community capacity on local issues. Through these spontaneous workshops, participants engage in dramatic inquiry and rapid dramaturgy, leading to deeper insights that support meaningful social change. This approach serves as a tool to foster community, involve citizens in planning and prevention efforts, and address the current housing crisis with empathy. By combining information with creativity, this initiative encourages communities to collaborate on strategies for creating a better living environment for all.
