Role
As Artistic Coodinator, I played a crucial role in selection of the advisory board, artist participants, budgetary management, as well as branding and marketing. It was a joy to be able to use my interviewing and storytelling expertise as part of the process of selecting the pool of some 50 artists who would be paid from this more than $200,000 grant.
As Artistic Coordinator, I played a crucial role in the planning and execution of One Valley, Many Stories, a project brought to the community by the Prospect Theater Project in collaboration with the Artist Lab. Funded by a Heartland Grant, the project aimed to uplift, empower, and unite the diverse communities of Stanislaus County through storytelling and performing arts. The project was designed to foster social, civic, and cultural growth, focusing on marginalized populations in California’s Healthy Place Index’s bottom quartile.
The project brought together interactive storytelling, interviews, and performances that represent the rich cultural, social, and community-driven narratives in Stanislaus County. The project not only provided entertainment, but also created a heightened sense of awareness about social justice, community engagement, public health, and climate mitigation.
