Wounded Splendor - a page of resources.

Wounded Splendor is my song to the earth.  Check out the link below for videos, blogs, and poetry from the show.

A choreographed suite of poetry, monologues and dance accompanied by an original musical score and set within a luscious video design, Wounded Splendor contemplates our suffering planet, our capacity for reverence and our exceptional ability to destroy — and to preserve our "piece of the universe".

The Art of Storytelling

A while back I was interviewed by the brilliant Eric Wolf about my storytelling approach to theater for young audiences.  Eric travels around the country talking with practitioners of the "world's oldest profession" :)  and puts them up on his cool podcast site The Art of Storytelling.  Have a listen and lemme know...

Article in today's Lufkin News (Texas, that is...)

Read here a nice article about The Frog Bride.  We just got off stage with our first (of two) school shows -- great response from audience.  The presenter said, "this was the most elegant family show I've ever had on this stage...and I've been doing this a long time!"  Nice.

Poem for today: DONKEY - from The Carnival of the Animals

Donkey (Persons with Long Ears)

The straw is too dry,

My shoes don’t fit,

The fence is too high,

I’m done with it!

The barn smells bad,

The sheep snore at night,

The cow’s have gone mad,

It’s a sorrowful sight,

Everything around me

Dissapoints,

The quality, the service,

The endless oinks,

My patience has gone

right out the door,

My only recourse, of course,

is to kick,

and HEEHAW!

OWS May Day

Outrage and hope, ideas and inspiration, all in the polyglot American reality. Long live free speech, the right to assemble, and the messy cauldron of democracy.

OWS Today May Day

Huge rallIes throughout NYC. So many causes, such little time.

Poem for today: AQUARIUM from Carnival of the Animals

Aquarium

Silver beads of bubbles, rising,

Golden curtains of light, falling,

Down to sunset coral of the sea,

Threads of thin silver silk ribbons, rising,

Blades of gold, falling,

Down to milkwhite sand of the sea,

Bluegreen water flowing, rising, falling,

Everywhere greenblue water,

Golden curtains, silver beads, sunset coral,

Bluegreen water, flowing…

A fish!
