Quietness
"Quietness" is a sonic meditation on the nature of love and existence. Integrating ambient sound scape, voice, text and theatrical setting, the piece is a living dreamscape, a transitional world between opposites, a ritual to return dark and light to mystery, balance and beauty.

My German Lollipop
A German expat escapes.
Through the lens of post-war German kitsch and popculture, My German Lollipop seeks to grapple with inherited shame, and the power of sexuality. Using dance, voice, blue lederhosen, and a dj mash-up of Heidi Bachert's My Boy Lollipop, it will titillate, disturb, and entertain.

Like my life, my dreams are marked by your absence...
Presence and absence. Proximity and distance. Words and silence. Isolation and
togetherness.
'No, that’s not what I meant. That’s not what I meant at all.’
A sonic exploration of love and communication.
“Is that what my voice really sounds like?

Ritual Refuge
Inspired by John Cage's trip inside the anechoic chamber, where he expected to find silence and instead found two sounds: two people, brought to the brink by increased dependencies on sleeping pills, birth control, and dwindling savings. Two enter the room to make it all stop.

The Vagabond Trust
Shed the familiar. Pack, pick up, haul out, town after town. Put out your thumb: revel in the unplanned route. Get buckshot sleep in a speeding flatbed. Burn the map: trust yourself. Dance in the road lit by the haze of stars. The last ferry is leaving. All aboard . . .

The Last First Nations Museum
Inside the brain of Edward Sheriff Curtis.
“In Mr. Curtis we have both an artist and an observer, whose work has
far more than mere accuracy, because it is truthful. …because of his
extraordinary success in making and using his opportunities, has been
able to do what no other man ever has done; what, as far as we can
see, no other man could do.”
~ Theodore Roosevelt, on The North American Indian

Story Time with Grandpa
Grandpa sure is old. He's, like, "Old-Timey" old. And he sure has a lot to say. About a lot of things. And... uh... He's really not well. He really isn't. And I'm not sure if I'm hearing him right, what with the noise from the ventilator and everything. But I'm pretty sure he was saying some terrible, terrible things. About a lot of things.
