Summary:[...]we wanted the conference to explore our dreams for the future of ATHE through the vexed politics and poetics of the here and now (and then) in Arizona.

Since 1995, she has developed collaborative theatre projects with youth in the Balkans and Middle East, and has also worked as a conflict-resolution facilitator with Seeds of Peace, an organization that brings together youth from the Middle East, South Asia, and Balkan regions.
