Ok, since the first run last October went so well, we're going to do a second run of

grappling with/haunted by what america+utopia might =

I am so pleased with my first site-specific work at the new Milkbar space in Richmond, and audiences are loving it!!

I've been working on this project for the last couple of years, and did a preview performance of it at the Bethany Arts Community in Ossining NY in 2024, which was received quite enthusiastically.

the current Milkbar version includes a yearlong timelapse element from the inside of the studio, which I have been making with the amazing Ian Winters, plus additional installed video with the stunning Erin Malley, PLUS original sound by the one and only Merlin Coleman (can you say dream team)

And then, we have plans to take the piece to the woods of western Michigan and do it at Erin Malley's lumber baron house/art space in Big Rapids - check back for more details on that!!

plus, we continue to have thoughts about a site specific performance festival sited on the Richmond Greenway, which is just two blocks from the Milkbar! if this sounds interesting to you, send me an email, I'd love to talk
