This international collaboration in July 2022 brought together U.S. theatre and film artists from H2M with dancer Elena Machaeashvili, choreographer and Director of Theatre Synthesis Gyorgi Ghonghadze and acclaimed theatre artist Anna Nikosashvili (performer, writer and director) to co-lead a series of workshops in three different cities across the Republic of Georgia.

Together the artists co-led three different workshops each culminating in a public performance for the young participants' community, friends, family and teachers.

The first workshop was in the capital Tbilisi, for high school students, then the team traveled to work with young adults and teens in the cities of Gori and Zugdidi. In both locations, partnering with community host organization CSDC, the participants were drawn from families that had been displaced from recent invasions by Russian forces in neighboring regions during two prior conflicts.

This project was supported by the U.S. Embassy Tbilisi.
