To do so, we have created a 501(c)(3) non-profit production company and residency that works both from the top-down and bottom up. From the top-down, the production company adapts classics and creates new works that center traditionally under-represented voices. From the bottom-up, the residency supports artists-in-residence to create Regenerative Arts projects from their own perspectives. They are named after the fish with a snout like a pig that lives its life as both sexes. It surpasses our pre-conceived notions and invites us into a lived experience of the world that is authentic, bigger, and better. That is Hogfish.For more information visit the Hogfish website www.hogfish.org.ABOUT THE GOOD MEDICINE COLLECTIVEMore than a co-working space, Good Medicine Collective is a cross-pollinating community of independent healing providers that recognizes we can achieve more together.
