Health and Life

Our next show will be a look into the topic of physical challenges in health and will provide a personal, self-narrative look into many people's lives who are affected by physical disabilities, degenerative conditions and other health challenges that most people in the world are affected by at one point or another. Please be aware that in no way am I considering myself a medical expert or experienced in dealing with serious health conditions in any way, and I play these pieces simply so that their storytellers have another audience and voices can be heard.

I want to thank a fellow former-UCSC student, Helen, for allowing me to play her own personal piece documenting her mother's experience with breast cancer; it takes a strong person to put such a sensitive and intimate story out for others to hear.
