The shows went so great! We performed on UCSB's campus as well as downtown on State Street in front of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art during Santa Barbara Downtown Organization's First Thursday Events. Both nights were highly successful! I got a lot of great feedback. The best thing any audience member said to me after the show was, "Thank you for doing this."
It's kind of incredible that it was, in fact, so brave to do what we did on the stage/sidewalk two days ago. I didn't realize the scope of what I was touching on. Or maybe I did, and I just refused to process it completely because I probably would have exploded with nerves. But we did something powerful out there on Thursday. We questioned society and the norms we take for granted on a physical place, a property where those norms are continually upheld. Maybe we did something brave. Maybe just a little. Maybe a lot?

She got it, and it sounded like a lot of others did, too. One step at a time :)
