So, a little about me. I presently live in Oakland, Ca, moved here from New Mexico two years ago. I teach Pilates, take classes at the Circus Center in San Francisco, and am slowly creating opportunities to perform locally.

I have been performing since I was 15. I have been creating original material since before that. I started out singing, and am coming back to singing now.

When I was a child I used to astral travel in my sleep. I went to lots of places and met many beings. I ‘fell’ into bed in the morning, and just before I did I saw the stars quickly floating up all around me. I remember my dreams and can remember in detail dreams that I had back then.

I have a deep love of nature. This also started way back. Now, when I am stressed out or disappointed in humanity, I find little strokes of beauty and calmness when I see trees the ocean birds bees butterflies squirrels endless flowers that inhabit my surroundings. There are always so many things going on-

There are many fires in California. This morning I turned on the radio and the first thing I heard was that some of the oldest trees on the planet are on fire. I cried uncontrollably for some time.

I am fascinated by the world. I am deeply in love with the human body, how magical and intelligent it is, how creative even are our ‘injuries’. I think this is what brought me into both the theater and the world of movement and dance. I guess I can add singing to that, because music for me can be the highest form of physical/psychological/emotional/spiritual expression and artistry. Some say the world was sung into being. I believe this happens every day.

Last night I was cooking dinner and looked out the window. The sun was red/orange. I stared at it for a long time. It seemed small, its edges hard and limiting, rather than bursting with flares of fire and energy. Then I realized that I was staring at the sun. This scared me a little bit. I’m not sure if the soot in the air, coming from all those fires caused this phenomenon, probably.

I have also taught since I was 15. I have taught creative drama, improvisation, voice, acting, dance, playwrighting, clown, clown combat, Shakespeare, yoga, poetry and mime (two sides of the same coin) and Pilates.

I have traveled a bit, but never feel that I have traveled enough. I loved living in England so much that it is a recurring location for many dreams. I have recently learned that I have a love of fire, and have remembered that I love climbing and being up high, thus the aerial classes.

That is a good start. I believe it is a powerful act to practice intimacy, and I am also petrified of intimacy.

Cheers.
