I recently had the amazing opportunity to do live intuitive painting in conjunction with several fantastic storytellers sharing their personal experiences with mental health issues. Given my own struggles with depression and anxiety, I loved taking part in an event that helps destigmatize mental health. Wayward Theater’s Mixed Tape events are always engaging, and they’re a fantastic theater company. So, if you are in the Twin Cities, check them out.
These are how the pieces turned out at the end of the performance, click on the titles to see how the works developed from her to their final stage. Play Reckless • Clinging on to the Abyss • I Guess We’ll Never Know • Act with More Humility
