Some wild experiments yesterday with Zornitsa that you can see here.

And here is some wild text from rehearsals with Megan. I'm improvising a spiritual lecture based off of lots of text I've collected from Eckhart Tolle.

"Many of you have only just arrived here now and perhaps some of you are not yet completely here. There may be parts of you that are still arriving. So let's wait for them to get here. But, we’re here to give up waiting as a state of mind! There is another state of mind, or rather no mind, in which you are not waiting for the next moment. You are fully present in the now."

 Just received a CD with some of the pictures from Sea of Tranquility. Check it out on my photo page.

Lately, some more rehearsals with Zornitsa, and some more teaching at Swarthmore University. Both of them are making me hungry to start up my own class here in Philadelphia. Maybe a pilot class in April?

I've written a testimonial for my friend and mentor George Russell. It has been posted on the website for his new organization Getting Better: The Center for Bodywork and Movement. Check it out!

Yesterday I gave some feedback to a short showing by fellow HPI alum Alie Vidich. After that I met with the Walking Fish Theatre about teaching opportunities (look for an acting workshop in May). I also met with Megan Mazarick to discuss the future of our piece "Mining the Mine of the Mind for Minderals: A lecture on presence and the neurological correlates of consciousness", and finished the day with a rehearsal for Zornitsa Stoyanova. Lots of great things in the works!

Last night I taught a crash course in script analysis to an Acting 101 class at Swarthmore University. I had a great time, and I'm looking forward to the final class next week. Thanks for the opportunity Sarah Sanford.

 I am back in Philadelphia from my week long residency in Allamuchy, New Jersey. Here is a little blurb about the site-specific piece I helped to create there.

Next up is a showing of some ideas for a piece I am co-creating with Megan Mazarick. It is a TED-talk-on-acid kind of performed lecture on consciousness. The showing is part of the Live Arts Brewery's Scratch Night and will be held on Thursday, March 8th. RSVP here.

This is my last week of rehearsals for Sea of Tranquility before the cast heads up to Northern New Jersey for our residency in Rutherfurd Hall. We will be meeting the mayor and doing interviews with the local radio stations in addition to a handful of workshops with schools around the area. The performance itself opens on March 2nd.

Spent the day playing around with No Face Performance Group. They are including me in some rehearsals as they brainstorm ideas for a new piece about sci-fi, Persephone, the Underworld, and black holes. 

First rehearsal today for a new performance piece, The Sea of Tranquility. It is a site specific, historical work to take place at Rutherfurd Hall in Allamuchy, NJ. Featuring a wealthy astronomist, cliff jumping juveniles, men on the moon, and a panther.

Today was the first rehearsal for a new piece I am co-creating with Megan Mazarick. Possibly for a performance at City Hall in May. Maybe for some other something? Maybe having something to do with lizard people and a mansion tour.

Today was the last in a series of Monday afternoons workshopping movement ideas under the direction of Zornitsa Stoyanova. I should have some video footage of these experiments to share in the next couple of days.

Had a blast performing last night in the opening and closing dance numbers of "The Aporkalypse,” a fundraising event for Pig Iron.
