 \nCurrently envisioned at a solo show with some light puppet work (design
 ed by Greg Corbino). This project is a stand up piece for a non-stand-up-
 comedian. I am someone with a background in collaborative and collective 
 art making and street performance. I am someone who has sustained themsel
 ves making art by the skin of their teeth over three decades because I'm 
 desperate for the collective of humanity to expand. And the people I am m
 aking this piece with represent similar experiences and feelings\\, and w
 e're creating something together that can create an entryway where everyo
 ne is invited to simultaneously see themselves and expand beyond their cu
 rrent limits of identity. Using a template of stand-up\\, we weave storyt
 elling and reflection about my experiences of living two genders into an 
 experience for the audience that climaxes in a collective meditation wher
 e we can all transcend our preconceived notions of identity and expand in
 to the truth of the joy that lies beyond all categories.\\nARTISTS BIOS\\
