Agri-Culture in Climate Change

HowlRound Theatre Commons: I call myself a “perfarmer” because I am both an organic farmer and a theatre artist, producing at the intersection of agriculture and art. For most of my life I made devised theatre in small non-traditional ensembles. I performed with Primus Theatre in Winnipeg, Canada and was co-artistic director of North American Cultural Laboratory (NACL) Theatre in New York. Then about fifteen years ago, I had an opportunity to immerse myself in an agrarian life. With my husband Greg Swartz, I started a farm specializing in organic vegetables, herbs, and cut flowers called Willow Wisp Organic Farm in northeast Pennsylvania.
