In At the Table, a two-year project supported by the NEA's Our Town funding stream, artists and Tenderloin residents co-creates performance interventions focused on supportive housing issues—both resident experience and city policy—and solutions. We deployed performance works in both traditional and non-traditional performance spaces—neighborhood parks, sidewalks, SRO hotels, contemporary performance space, City Hall, local meal programs—using both form and content to call attention to the way that housing status impacts notions of indoor/outdoor, public/private, and civic/artistic spaces.
