In the beginning there was darkness. And a giant egg and mud and puppies and snakes and cow chips and kettles and scones. And loneliness too. In the beginning storytelling brought us together and gave us reason and hope, as they still do today. THE MAKERS is a mash-up of creation myths and origin stories from around the world in attempt to find what unifies us all as human beings.

HB STUDIO FIRST FLOOR STUDIO PERFORMANCE RESIDENCIES
