Check out my interview with RealLivePeople(in)Motion. I'm dancing with them right now as part of a new piece being made for early next year.
Don't Worry
Headed out to Allamuchy, NJ this afternoon to create a deep, dark, dangerous meditation for Rutherfurd's Hall of Haunts. Don't think scary thoughts. Nothing bad will happen. Don't worry.
LAB Fellowship
Wahoo! My LAB Fellowship is underway. For the next 9 months I'll be an artist in residence at the Live Arts Brewery. Keep your eyes peeled for announcements about my LAB supported projects and showings at their monthly Scratch Nights.
Don't Be Scared
After all the craziness that was fringe, things have slowed down considerably. But that doesn't mean there aren't still wild performances on the horizon. Next up is the Hall of Haunts on Oct. 26th and 27th from 5pm-Midnight in Allamuchy, NJ. I'll be creating a unique journey deep into the human mind for one of the many rooms in this historic mansion. Don't be scared.
Coming Up Next
Now that the Philadelphia Fringe is dead and buried, it's on to the next project. Here are a few things to look forward to ...
1. I'll be working on a new dance piece with Gina Hoch-Stall's company RealLivePeople(in)Motion.
2. My LAB Fellowship has started and I am in the beginning phase of a new solo work. More details to come.
3. The group I worked with on The Sea of Tranquility is coming together for another project under the banner Medium Theatre Company. The project has several stages the first of which is a series of solo pieces about mediums, psychics and seers in Rutherfurd Hall at the end of October as part of their "Hall of Haunts". The second is a coming together of these solos for a TBD Philadelphia run. And finally a residency back at the Hall in March 2013.

Fringe Approaches
I'm incredibly busy in the best way possible! On Tuesday I had a work in progress showing of Hackles, the piece I've directed for the Fringe running Sept. 7-16. Tomorrow I have a work in progress showing of Mining the Mine of the Mind for Minderals, the piece I've co-created and will be performing in from Sept. 19th-22nd. Get your tickets now! Both pieces are going to be awesome!

Rehearsals are underway for both Hackles and MMMM. Things are going great with both projects. Today was the first rehearsal for MMMM in the performance space. Megan and I made some amazing discoveries that we can't wait to share with you.
Kickstarter!
The kickstarter page for my project Mining the Mine of the Mind for Minderals with Megan Mazarick is live!
