Thought Questions: What is your community or communities? Would you define it/them by age group, ethnic or gender identity, political philosophy, class, workplace, neighborhood, or another way (you can have more than one, and it can be as simple as a community of my friends) Pick one. Do you have a performance idea or two that might reveal, challenge, and/or embrace your community or a personal vision that you would like to contribute to it?
