The Healer mines the ancient history, systems and beliefs of Traditional Chinese Medicine as a source for physical invention, sensory attunement and solace during precarious times. Bookending each performance will be a short presentation by a practitioner from one of various healing modalities, and a moderated conversation with the artists.

Collaborators include choreographer and dancer Katerina Wong, dancers Michaela Cruze, Juliann Witt, Stacey Yuen, composer Daniel Berkman, scenic designer Chad Owens, lighting designer Del Medoff and costume coordinator Jhia Jackson.
