Time Exiles,  spearheaded by playwright Liz Appel, seeks to explore what gratitude means at this moment in time. How does it appear, how is it coded for different people in different places? What can we learn about the way our communities function and what they value through a collective gratitude process? The Grate was piloted with 10 artists in spring of 2022, workshopped at Notch's annual retreat in summer 2022 and presented  as part of New Georges' JAMboree at the
Center for Performance Research May 2024.
