dc.description.abstract	This thesis tracks my journey as an artist as I developed personally and as my performance piece moved from conception to implementation. The story begins with what I understood to be a lack of material written for and about a specifically targeted audience. The thesis goes on to discuss how that need could be met, how I could be the catalyst for change and how that process could change my life forever. I have also included my experience as a solo performer whose previous training had prepared me only for collaboration with other actors. This thesis also discusses my process of creating and developing I’m not a writer… but I got a story to tell and concludes with reflections on my final performance.	en
