I want to thank James Palmer (artistic director), Daria Davis (director of MIJ), Martyna Majokand (playwright) for creating a world where I can let the weird out, and the entire ensemble and company for their love and support.

As far as store front theaters go Red Tape is amazingly forward thinking and unique. They have become fast friends. Having just worked on their production of Love of the Nighingale I look forward to our upcoming project Obscura by Jennifer Barclay, directed by Julieanne Ehre.

Fun experiments, weird discoveries, interesting audio anecdotes.

Recently, I have been working with About Face Theatre’s youth ensemble on Queertopia. They were each instructed to select a fun pop song that I would then mash into one fun, weird AND interesting piece. The following is the resulting demo.

Features:
Diana Ross – I’m Coming Out
Lady Gaga – Love Games
Prince – Kiss
Smashing Pumpkins – Thirty-three
Shakira – She Wolf
Madonna – Forbidden Love
Lights – Ice
Lady Gaga – Bad Romance
Black Eyed Peas – Boom Boom Pow
Jay-Z feat. Rhianna – Umbrella
