The Abundant BohemianJoseph Downing inspires and encourages his readers to live passionate lives. Joe's journey is much like my own, and he thought my story would interest his readers. We met in 2015 for an interview. When I read the blog post he created from our talk, I felt exposed in the most gentle of ways. I felt understood. |

The Surrealist BallIn 2015, Grass Roots Enrichment and Wellness Center hosted the first of a series of adventurous fundraisers called The Surrealist Ball. It was a re-creation of the famous Rothschild Surrealist Ball from 1972. Performance art was a huge part of the original Surrealist Ball, and it was a huge part of our incarnation as well. For it, I played a portal to the divine; a galaxy of welcome to connect patrons to other worlds through the interactive sharing of my most feminine presence. |

Street Dance PartyIt was time, once again, to bring dance outdoors and into public space! This kind of dancing was documented by Christine Gaffney in our 2010 video collaboration, Street Dance. For Street Dance Party, I invited people to be part of the dance. We paraded the sidewalk, feet astride, weaving our dances side by side. photo by Bill Franz |
