About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and create solo plays about my adventures and to allow the mad world into my heart to change me.

ABOUT ME

I create and perform solo plays that are journalistic storytelling. I work with radical performance groups like Reverend Billy and The Church of Stop Shopping, International WOW company, the Living Theatre and The Bicycle Clown Brigade. I teach street theater, visual art, movement. I love to dance. I love to learn more about the world and experience the world in exciting ways.

My boyfriend, Iris, who I am traveling with now, is a sculptor, artist, metal worker extraordinaire who can build anything. He builds large scale art installations and small sculptures and. Travels around the world with his art in festivals, recently built a rammed earth home in Haiti.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, people are good; especially when you believe in them. Live as happily and as openly as possible without hurting others or the earth.

Don't wait for people to stop judging you to live your life. Passion and courage are keys to great success.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have started a bartering system among my friends here. My personal benefits from it so far have been: a book club, workout partner, and accordion lessons.

I can teach yoga, theater exercises, contact improvisation, shiatsu massage, vegan cooking, voice work, ballroom dance moves, English, puppet making and other things.
