A Woman's Place is in Her Home
The Arcata Playhouse in association with Arcata House Partnership and Food For People began the project with hopes to bring the distinctive challenges of being a houseless woman to the broader community. A Womans Place is in Her Home fuses storytelling, media, dance and music, performed by professional artists, alongside community members and activists. Jacqueline Dandeneau directs the play featuring original compositions from Humboldts own Lyndsey Battle and Dharla Curry. Over 12 months, the creative team of Dandeneau, Ali Freedlund and Tammy Rae Scott, documented the hardship, beauty, resilience, and resourcefulness of women in various states of homelessness, and witnessed the obstacles they face every day. The script was developed with the ensemble to bring the research to life. Many of this exceptional cast have experienced houselessness at some point in their lives. Together, throughout the production process, they shared life stories, prepared meals, broke down, held each other up and developed an extraordinary bond.
