Queering Dance Festival presents Frolic Online
September 19, 2020
I presented the video from last year's first Queering Dance Festival. This piece explores the impact of doors (closed, locked and otherwise) in our lives. The title reflects that all I knew in 1974 was that I loved her. Because of that repressive time, it became a radical act to pursue this love by coming out as a lesbian.

Intimate Sharing in Movement and Spoken Word
Three dance stories speak of a lost love reappearing in a new form,
a man with a secret that everyone knows but pretends not to,
and the understanding that some things never leave.

They Never Really Leave
May 2016
Do those we love never leave us? Forty-year-old cassette tapes unexpectedly surface. The recorded voices are mine and a long lost college love's. The phrase "long lost" is not only figurative but literal; that lover vanished in 1983. She was never seen or heard from again. Until now.

standingOUTstanding
at the 2014 Edinburgh, Scotland Fringe Festival
standingOUTstanding is my eighth World Premiere in four years. It features a blend of experimental postmodern dance and improvisation focusing on leading edge themes guaranteed to provoke, stimulate, entertain and captivate the audience’s attention. The performance explores what happens when previously non-convergent parallel lives collide and merge into one. There is also an examination of a life filled with consistent paradox.

My video was selected for historic preservation by the Fringe Performance Archive and is now conserved in the National Library of Scotland.
