Spring blooms, look out!

This year the trees are stunning here in Baltimore and life is blooming.

My work as a teaching artist has been inspiring this time around. Grateful for all the community of students and families at City Neighbors Charter School. I got to work with a group of kids who wrote a dynamic school drama - Duck Swap - that we worked on together to make into a full blown play. It was a hoot.

In April, I am setting up to perform in Baltimore and in a few towns south of here: Atlanta, Richmond, and Asheville. These shows are going to be a mix of PROP series work and doing some tests with new material. On the 4th, I will be in Asheville doing a house show with the magical being - Valeska Populoh. We will be sharing a bill with Majid Araim and Lucifer Arias among others at No Tomorrow Underground in Atlanta on April 5th. We will kick around ATL for a couple days and then make our way to Richmond for a house show on the 8th. On the 11th, the Breath of the Maji returns! This is primarily a musical project with Orlando Johnson and Che Davis. We will be playing in Baltimore at 2640 Space on St. Paul. We will be accompanied by two ensembles from Atlanta - Majid Araim and Monique Osorio & Lucifer Arias, Priscilla Smith, and Ray Swinn. This is going to be a singular night of avant garde expression.

On April 15th - Move Move Collaborative will be presenting a dance lecture at The Invisible Architecture conference at Towson University. Cristal Sabbagh, Ashley Shey, and Emmett Wilson will be coming into town for the presentation. I am honored to be in the company of the inspiring artists and thinkers sharing their work.

In May, I will be bringing forward some ideas that I started to tinker with at Donna Oblongata’s Introduction to Pochinko clowning class. It was an inspiring synthesis of many threads of this body mind. Keep your eyes open for a solo show at the amazing Rhizome DC on May 19th, the May 20th Puppet Slam co-hosted between Black Cherry Puppet Theater and The Current Space. Another ensemble show will happen on May 22nd at Comptoir du Vin - John Dierker, Khristian Weeks and myself will play a set alongside Bonnie Lander.

I hope to cross paths with you somewhere along this journey.
