What is family?
From Christmas mayhem to simultaneous rage and hysterical laughter, to complicated relationships with sex, Jesse Lawson questions the impact of being in relation with people who we didn't necessarily choose to be in our life. What happens when we decide to define family for ourselves — who do we pick, and how do we form those relationships?
Jesse Lawson is a multi award-winning audio producer, sound designer and community facilitator. He will be showcasing a Work in Progress of his newest live performance, a piece about whether or not to have a family at all.
Jesse is helping to fundraise to support a Palestinian family — Adi, Ayaa and their daughter — who's home in Gaza was destroyed by Israeli bombing. You can make a donation on Outsavvy alongside buying a ticket to the event, and there will be a chance to donate on the night as well.
