The Clinic Performance


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


We are nurses, artists, musicians, dancers, and theater makers. We dream, dance, and play toward a future where healthcare is creative and nourishing. We offer playshops, retreats, and immersive perfrmances to support healthcare settings and the people who make them.

I am a Lead Facilitator for Creative Caregivers, a partnership with the Oncology Nursing Foundation. Our workshops guide healthcare professionals through artistic experiences and deep reflection designed to build emotional resilience and prevent burnout.



I also lead Resiliency Moments online from home. Resiliency Moments are one-on-one performative experiences designed to offer health care professionals small moments of joy, wonder, and healing amidst their workdays. I’ve created two scripted, though highly participatory and improvised, experiences: Whisk the Charts, Knead Grief (set in my kitchen), and made for me and you (set outside on my front porch). 

Resiliency Moments Artists: 

Abby Ahmad, Alberto Denis, Clare Hammoor, Kelly GreenLight, Cortney McGuire, Tara Rynders, Lauren Sharpe, Son Chung (Son Spirited), J. Aaron Walker, and C. Meranda Flachs-Surmanek. Core Team: Tara Rynders, Alison Waldman, Clare Hammoor, Kelly GreenLight, and C. Meranda Flachs-Surmanek.
