The Clinic Performance combines art, music, movement, and caring science to create immersive experiences and resiliency workshops for healthcare professionals.

The organization held national workshops from 2020-2022, led by nurses, artists, musicians, dancers, and theater makers. We dreamed, danced, and played toward a future where healthcare is creative and nourishing. We offered playshops, retreats, and immersive performances to support healthcare settings and the people who make them.

I was a Lead Facilitator for Creative Caregivers, a partnership with the Oncology Nursing Foundation. Our workshops guided healthcare professionals through artistic experiences and opportunities for reflection designed to build emotional resilience and address burnout.

I was also a Lead Artist for Resiliency Moments: one-on-one performative experiences designed to offer health care professionals small moments of joy, wonder, and healing amidst their workdays.

Through Resiliency Moments, I created two plays that I performed for one person at a time: Whisk the Charts, Knead Grief (set in my kitchen), and made for me and you (set outside on my front porch).

The Clinic Performance is now a Colorado-based organization doing amazing work in person.
