Presentation Topic: Body of Water, Performance & Conversation with Sara Nesson

Body of Water is a chronology of love, loss, and reconciliation that follows Sara’s journey as a landlocked distance swimmer struggling to find the way home. Set on the rugged coastline of Northern California, the 25-minute monologue weaves lyric storytelling, myth, and sacred text. Playful and poignant, it is an homage to Sara’s aquatic nature, her passion for the wilderness, and a life altered by ME/CFS. Sara’s performance will be accompanied by a conversation about longing, loss, hope, and healing.

Sara Nesson is a California artist, writer, and performer living with ME/CFS who has been crafting original theater for twenty-five years. She has been touring as an online storyteller since 2021 and facilitates a group for artists living with chronic illness. Click here to watch the Body of Water trailer.

Sara’s performance will be followed by discussion and then participants will separate into virtual break-out rooms for introductions and to discuss the “get to know you” question.
