About: HOME is a large-scale performance project that revolves around the life-cycle of a house. Created through a mix of illusion, choreography, construction and live documentary to illuminate the messiness of life that transforms a house into a home. HOME aims to awaken us to the current landscape of housing. The universal and timely themes of gentrification and migration are rendered in the choreography of ordinary people inhabiting and leaving a structure.
Production History: HOME was developed through developmental workshops and residencies at MANA Contemporary (Jersey City, NJ), BRIC Art House (Brooklyn, NY), Pennsylvania State University (State College, PA) and ArtsEmerson (Boston, MA). HOME premiered at the 2017 Fringe Festival, presented by FringeArts, Philadelphia.
HOME was commissioned by Brooklyn Academy of Music, Arizona State University – Gammage, New Zealand Festival, Beth Morrison Projects and the Edinburgh International Festival. HOME was funded, in part, by The Wyncote Foundation, Adam & Diane Max, Garth Patil, Wendy vanden Heuvel and Jeanne Donovan Fisher and received developmental support from LUMBERYARD Contemporary Performing Arts (formerly ADI). Residency support has been provided by MANA Contemporary, BRIC, Pennsylvania State University and ArtsEmerson. HOME received support from the New York Theatre Workshop annual Usual Suspects summer residency at Dartmouth College.
