Sculpting Clay or How I Became Mother of Unicorns is a solo show written and performed by Ayesis Clay. It is a coming-of-age tale about one woman’s attempts to navigate the fantastical journey of her dreams while repeatedly being drawn into the complicated, often dark realities that her students face: self-actualization, oppressive systems in schools, incarceration, and even death. Weaving fantastical projections with live action, this solo performance addresses a silently increasing problem in our schools: secondary traumatic stress in educators.

It usually accompanies the "REIGNITE: Addressing Compassion Fatigue and Burnout in Educators" workshop.
