Our Process 

The Most Beautiful Home... Maybe offers an organizing strategy based on the process of making theater, believing that we must bring together the widest representation of stakeholders together, repeatedly, to build trust, to hear each other’s stories, standing side by side, each contributing their experiences and envisioning solutions that work for everyone. 
We start by hosting community workshops, group interviews, and creative activities organized with local partners in four cities – St. Paul, Los Angeles, Syracuse, and Mesa, AZ. – this brings together local stakeholders: housing insecure, policy makers, government workers, commercial and non-profit developers, activists, and advocates to have conversations.

At these sessions, we utilize:
  • story circles, 
  • design thinking technologies, 
  • group composition exercises,
to build collaboration, open up imaginative thinking, and seed mutual understanding and trust. 

We understand that policy change does not adhere to a production schedule so we strive to connect participants to local organizing efforts, inspiring them to seek out housing advocacy efforts after the performances; to enlist folks, one by one, to move us collectively towards a present in which housing is a fundamental right, and a future where everyone can be housed. 

In order to work towards a collective vision, an important part of the process is simply to see what the issues we're talking about can look like.
