Action Design NYC - February 2024 - With Elevate Theater Company

Join us this February as we're joined by Christina D. Eskridge, MPH, founder and Executive Director of Elevate Theater Company, who uses the power of theater as a tool for behavior change in the public health space.

About Elevate Theater Company:

Elevate uses storytelling as a vehicle for health promotion. The artistic work primes audiences, drawing them in with relatable stories and then Elevate provides opportunities for discussion and engagement post performance with healthcare professionals. Elevate also offers Storytelling Workshops for groups of all sizes, leveraging professional teaching artists to support healthy and authentic communication, and consulting services for any organization looking to create strategic programming, promoting health and well-being through the arts.

About Christina D. Eskridge, MPH:

Christina is a performing artist, teaching artist, director, playwright and public health professional, holding a Master's Degree in Public Health from UC Berkeley. For the past decade, Christina has worked to fuse her two passions of health and theater through performance, her teaching artistry, and her extensive work in health care at Kaiser Permanente. Christina also serves as the secretary on the Board of Directors for the National Organization for Arts in Health (NOAH). From performances specifically for children with autism, to facilitating workshops using drama-based techniques in the corporate environment, Christina believes live theater is a healing tool, ripe with opportunity. This belief drove her to establish Elevate in 2020, during the historic COVID-19 pandemic, producing live, virtual theater about important health topics, for audiences across the country.
