one year since the Pandemic...
one year since the Pandemic...
Our lives have been irreversibly altered since March of 2020. As a country we've been hit hard by a pandemic, with over 500,000 lives lost. Many of us have faced crippling economic circumstances. Businesses, schools, and public facilities shut down and many were not able to come back. Loved ones were separated indefinitely, and graduations, birthday celebrations, weddings, even funerals were unable to happen.
In rehearsal, we discussed personal narratives and the impact of COVID-19 on individuals, those who have lost their jobs, their homes, and their family.
The Washington Post column "Voices from the Pandemic" was source of inspiration, partially prompting this project for director, Wolf Sherrill, and guiding many of our conversations. Click the link above to read the stories and explore further.
We saw a resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement this summer, reported by the New York Times to be the largest movement in U.S. history, with millions of participants in protests across the country.
This movement was brought on by the police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amaud Arbury, and countless others. Protests and demands for change began to arise in the wake, and it wasn't long before the Black Lives Matter movement was a source of conversation in every household in America.
Our storytelling in Pandemic Project 2021 focuses on how individuals have been impacted by the intersection of the pandemic, the Black Lives Matter Movement and systemic racism, and severe economic and social inequality.
