Green Scene Chicago

With Green Scene Chicago programming I teach students how to plant and tend vegetable beds that, upon fruition, host two kinds of production: crops and theater. I recruit youth and elders to grow food and unearth their artistic impulses through writing, story telling, theater, music and dance. While exploring healthy earth practices, healthy eating, and healthy self-expression in the garden, these teams create performances to share with their community.
