Performance

I do time-based work within a large variety of contexts. The common thread for any or all of these myriad actions is this: the ability to hold a space. 

Public Action

Many of my recent performances have taken the form of site-specific public intervention, live-art tableaux and playful art actions. Whether highlighting our senses of taste/smell/touch or underscoring the aspect of "transaction" and transformation, these pieces work to complicate the relationship between the role of the "artist" and "spectator." Direct contact with audience-members or audience-as-participating-performer deliberately makes these roles malleable and interchangeable.

Stage

Stories and songs about children, love, hurt, wonder, being, and being present. Demystifying the performance process, even (and especially) from the stage, whether singing or speaking. A lot of heart stuff. Liking to connect with people. Testing the limits of vulnerability. I.e.: fucking up on stage, which is something that happens to me quite regularly – and has provided some of the best and most interesting performance moments. I.e.: being able to hold a space, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.
