Artist-in-Residence
Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center

Vermilion Theater’s bilingual project explores how the intersection of theater, visual arts, music, and mental health awareness can support cultural expression and wellness among immigrant families in Boston.

The residency will culminate in a community showcase and festival, SenStory: Home as a Verb, featuring performances, visual documentation, and a guidebook on creative practices, leaving a lasting legacy of resilience, belonging, and empowerment for AAPI families.

▶ 2025-2026

Vermilion Theater is honored to receive the Weaving Well-Being Grant from the City of Boston. With this support, we’ll launch a new iteration of “Home as a Verb” — a community-rooted project that re-imagines home as a dynamic concept and an incessant desire to connect. Through workshops based in music, visual art and creative storytelling, participants are invited to reflect on their past stories in a safe space and live through the present moments with intention. This project will expand upon a previous iteration developed in collaboration with Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center, by involving diverse participants across age groups in this shared process of re-defining home.
