Community Arts
UTSAH, meaning enthusiasm in many a language of the Indian subcontinent was a project that I designed and implemented in India with disabled children and their caregivers.
Here is a student learning to thread a needle for the first time and succeeding!
The Project's outcome included a Guide to Creative Drama and Puppetry that was widely circulated in India and continues to be used as a resource by teachers.
STIR A MEMORY
I started a food and memory project in 2008 that has expanded to Memories are Stories™. Over the past decade along with my team, I have gathered scores of memories at various venues from museums to street fairs, and even a customized audio studio in a tent where we gathered winter time memories.
