    “State: not anywhere near to now” update from the road

    By Published On: May 19th, 2013

    I just returned to the Bay Area from packed and generously-attentive houses in Portland. Thanks to Martha Ullman West for her coverage in Oregon's Arts Watch: http://www.orartswatch.org/dancing-to-the-how-and-why-of-it/ And thanks of course to my dear friend and colleague Katherine Longstreth. We met in graduate school some 20 years ago and quickly became comrades in DIY dance

    Introducing Dr. Zebrovksi’s HOUR OF POWER

    By Published On: May 5th, 2013

    In November 2012, I staged Dr. Zebrovski's HOUR OF POWER, an hour-long interdisciplinary show that explored commercialism and the occult while building out the world of interpretive dance psychic Dr. Zebrovski. With assistance from an amazing director (Beatrice Thomas) and dynamic performing artists (Baruch Porras-Hernandez and Maryam Rostami), I created a fun and interactive show that sold

    Creating. Good. Work.

    By Published On: April 18th, 2013

    For me, creating work is often an outward presentation of a very personal journey. In reading Kalidasa’s Meghadhootha, I initially drew inspiration from many different translations, and literary commentaries. In reading the epic poem over and over again, there were certain verses that leapt out from the pages. These lines were coaxed by my own

    Yesterday and yesterday and yesterday

    By Published On: March 21st, 2013

    Tomorrow was today. This morning I found some of last week's thoughts. And though we open TONIGHT! and time is a jetplane, I'm still crawling around on hands and feet. So here they are, last weeks thoughts, still fresh:   "A major chance operation crept into the show. Stormed in, I should say, with muddy, bloody,

    What’s it about?

    By Published On: March 17th, 2013

    It’s about capitalist self-censorship, and whether or not I can feel it in my kidneys. It's about having nothing to say and saying it, as if John Cage needed our poetry, too.

    Nudes Flash

    By Published On: March 14th, 2013

    I'm debating whether to get naked in our upcoming show, Twindependent. I'm waiting to hear if my collaborator agrees with me that we should. I emailed her about an hour ago when I got the "nudes flash;" the vision. It was debated at our last WIP (work in progress) showing. A male friend wanted to

    Starting State

    By Published On: March 10th, 2013

    As soon as I started scripting material for State, I shifted its context by taking it outside. The Djerassi Ranch in Woodside (where I was in residency last May) invites that kind of play, of course, and offers innumerable sites to take advantage of. Here is a short blip from one such adventure: Funsch launch
