took these before we'd even rehearsed ONCE, not bad for a wednesday night!

karaokeography: WE dance YOU sing
ONE NIGHT ONLY at PortFringe - Maine's Fringe Festival
Saturday, June 13 @ 10:30pm
(late! i know! We're doing it you can tooo)
The Apohadion Theater (107 Hanover, Portland)

soooooo lucky to be working with dream team Jenny Dignan, Scott McPheeters, Kristen Stake, and Holly Taylor. could not have found a better cast :)

An excitingly novel experience of karaoke. WE choreograph dance to an epic playlist of well-known karaoke songs – with, of course, the vocal tracks missing! YOU sing the lost lyrics, karaoke-style, using provided microphones and projected words. It's like any karaoke night – casual, drinks, singing – with backup dancers highlighting the true stars of the show - YOU! Together we create an evening where WE ALL joyously amplify the ethos of karaoke: mess, aliveness, community and "just going for it."

Support for "karaokeography: WE dance YOU sing" is provided by The Kindling Fund, a grant program administered by SPACE as part of the Andy Warhol Foundation For The Visual Arts Regional Regranting Program.

I'm hosting a fundraiser rendition of my newest show
"CHRONIC PAin au chocolat"
to help me get to the Atlanta Fringe Festival (May 29 - June 7)

Sunday May 24th
6:30pm
Mayo Street Arts

This show is a deeply personal work about my chronic pain, which has been my core struggle since my early 20s. But also at times quite funny i think! Atlanta will be the 3rd production of this piece. It will also be in the Portland Fringe Festival (June 13 - 19). Note, this is an adult show!
