Hello! Here is a November update: • Performance Installation (FREE) • Artist Feature   • Adult Dance Class (FREE)  It has been a busy and inspiring fall! I’ve been collaborating with interdisciplinary artist/filmmaker Art Jones in NYC, thinking about Jesse Zaritt and Sara Shelton Mann’s latest work I saw in Seattle, organizing the archive and launching my performance, teaching, and creative coaching practices back in my hometown, Petaluma CA.  Behind the scenes with Art Jones, NYC Upcoming public showing in 2 weeks: Performance Installation at Watershed Studios - Petaluma The Watershed Studios, a repurposed mill along the Petaluma River (45 min north of SF) will be activated by multiple artist openings on November 14. I will share the newest iteration of Radio Vision that includes projection, durational improvisation with objects that have accumulated over the past decade of research, and two performances of a 10-minute version of the work at 5:00 and 6:30.  The whole event is FREE  NOV 14, 4:00 - 7:00 pm  WTRSHD Studios - Mezzanine 429 1st St. Petaluma  The black and white image on bottom of the flyer is Helen’s great grandmother, Helen Tucker (middle) performing in a Mentone Productions 1933 musical short.

She brilliantly captures many threads of my life, work, and teaching. I am honored to be in community with Beth and her work at Cloudland!
