Just wanted to pop in and share a few photos from a new sling act, "Hecate", that I debuted this past weekend at Sanctuary Cabaret at Aloft Circus Arts. I worked on the act over the summer for two shows with Yes Ma'am Circus. I played Mélusine, which is a character from a French fairytale. [...]

It’s Here!

After much deliberation, I have at last started a Patreon. Many thanks to everyone who gave me feedback on the draft, and I hope those of you who subscribe will continue to give me feedback. It's a work in progress!

A Sudden Turn of Events

For the better! In early August I learned that Les Farfadais was looking a to hire a new cast member for their production of AirOtic in Chicago.

Hello, I am alive. I have not kept my promise to keep this blog updated...oops. Since my last post, I travelled to Europe on what was more or less a "train-cation". I visited friends, took class at Association Volaverunt in Paris and tortured myself with swinging trapeze lessons in Brussels. I've taught a bunch of [...]

Another page turned

Hello there. I have at last revamped this damn website. It was a pain-in-the-ass project fueled by an especially delicious Thanksgiving dinner. I have also revamped my visual art portfolio website, so have a looksie there, too. As 2018 enters its death throes, I feel I should contemplate, summarize and over-analyze. In some ways, I [...]
