Lauren, a recent college grad, moves back in with her parents while she looks for a job. However the behavioral aggression of Noah, Lauren’s adult brother with autism, is severely increasing. Lauren struggles between her desire to move away and the urgent need to help her family in a time of crisis. This is All Just Temporary is an experiential performance that shapes the audience's understanding through Noah's lens. As the world seeks the key to understanding this individually unique condition, the family's burning desire to communicate with Noah is explored through shadows, echoes, and a narrative that carries the weight of love. Many performances are followed by a Converging Minds conversation with local advocates, resource providers, and caretakers. Performances are generously supported by ARCH Development.
