Performance

I like to throw my hat at a few things. Usually it involves acting strange, putting on characters, time traveling, shape shifting and being somebody different for a little while.

Storytelling

I fell in love with the book “Women Who Run With The Wolves” by Clarissa Pinkola Éstes. I have retold some of that collection on several occasions.

Installation/live art

River Braille

River installation/performance piece to places stones into the form of Braille, spelling out LOVE and PEACE. The intent was to send energy into the river and create a communication with the water that flows through the town. It was inspired by the research by scientist Masaru Emoto and his work with water crystals. This piece was part of “The Journey” – a group exhibition of NCW arts in conjunction with Compassionate Communities.

Time for a swim? Ready to hit the water

Stones in the water

Peace and love in Braille format

Standing stones in the water

Nearly there.

Who needs a gym when you do this? Lifting these stones is a real workout.

“i didn’t realize how heavy those stones would be!” Phwoar!

Supporters!

Time for a sit down with some supporters

Theatre

Otesha Sunshine Coast Tour 2009

In 2009 I took part in a 2 month cycling theatre tour with the Otesha Charity on the west coast of Canada. 11 of us made up the Sunshine Coast Tour and it was superb. We learned and grew and shared our experiences with many others.
