*Disorder tackles the profound experiences of individuals suffering from and living with mental illness. The hope is that the process and performance of this work will raise awareness, destigmatize, and encourage healthy support and discourse surrounding the important and often overlooked issue of mental health in our society. This work is made possible (in part) through a 2020 Community Foundation of Northeast Florida Art Ventures Individual Artist Grant, and the Community First Cares Foundation Grants for Creative Arts & Cultural Entrepreneurs – 2019.
