A wooden side table is draped in a purple polka dotted scarf, which is covered with kleenex, a bowl of orange ear plugs, and name tags. Purple index cards offer instructions for filling out the name tags: name tags with a red border request no social interaction with others; yellow bordered name tags request careful or minimal social engagement from others; green bordered name tags request lots of social engagement from others. The side table sits next to a couch holding a bag of chips and a purple index card that reads "mad home work".

Mad Home 
The Mad Home website hosts a set of digital invitations that were crafted within a mad creative process and presented through a live performance installation that took place in May 2017. Much of this project, and it's companion website, are grounded in anti-pathologizing and mad-affirming practices in performance and community. madhomeproject.weebly.com/
