I have been a creator my entire life. There are dozens of photographs of me making and crafting as a child: creating games to play with my brother and sister, reveling in paste and paper, and imagining worlds that I could explore on my own, dazing off into the middle distance as I envisioned far-away lands. That child is still very much a part of me, and given the pressure of society to Consume instead of Create, I am very glad that he has survived.
These days my interests are in several areas:
I am a founding member of the Improvisational Theater group Search Engine Improv, where I perform regularly, constantly trying new things and trying to grow in the art form.
I periodically invest hours on end writing poetry, which is somewhat of a disciplined practice for me: I can tend to get caught up in big, abstract ideas, and poetics requires that you stay focused and present on the world around you, something I work on.
I dabble in the music of ukulele, guitar, tin whistle, and piano.
In the past I have been passionately involved in dancing contact improvisation, performance storytelling, and photography. Much to my dismay, I find that I do not consistently do much with these at present.
