Sarah will work with a group of adults who were adopted as children to create a performance that explores their identities and histories. Inspired by her own experience being adopted as a baby from China, Sarah wants to create a supportive environment for other adoptees who similarly may need space to explore loss and abandonment. Sarah hopes that by creating safe spaces for emotional exploration and story sharing, adoptees will have their feelings and experiences validated. The group will turn their personal stories into a public performance piece that they hope to share with family, friends, and advocates.
