One of the most profound experiences we all share is how we care for, and are cared for by, others. Created from interviews and interactions with caregivers, medical professionals, policymakers, and everyday citizens, The Art of Care is a world premiere theatrical event exploring this common thread of our humanity. Featuring an ensemble of all-star DC performers, this genre-breaking devised play uses movement, music, and multimedia to create an interactive exploration of our global need for care and community. The performance is devised using The Lab’s signature “In Your Shoes” process, developed around the world by director and Lab Artistic and Executive Director Derek Goldman, in which the actors perform one another’s intimate stories and perspectives, inviting us into their own personal worlds to deepen our understanding of our own.
