There Is No Sound in the Vacuum of Space
Is saying goodbye ever easy?
In November 2014, the European Space Agency landed a probe on Comet 67P. Known as Philae, this was the primary goal of the Rosetta mission – a 10-year journey from launch to landing. The Philae lander did not anchor into the comet, however, but rather bounced three times, landing in a shaded spot, unable to adequately charge its solar panels.

She has been working in the audio storytelling and podcasting space since 2007, when she began Swamp Witch Studio podcast to feature her playwriting and performance.

Clara’s play for elementary students, Monster of Mine, explores how to recognize, name, and cope with big emotions – a perfect melding of her work as a 500-hour certified yoga teacher and a career spanning more than two decades in the theatre. It is featured in StageOne Theatre’s Theatre for Everywhere digital series.
Clara enjoys regular jaunts into nature to hike and camp with her rescue hound, Copper.
