About
A 7 act 2 hour & 22 minute immersive opera exploring, upgrading and subverting the relating spaces between people, their pet robots & Nature.
Impact
Inviting people together to explore their body’s intimacy with technology, ecology, and one another. The audience is uplifted as part of the performance to experience radical ways of relating, inclusive choreography and collaborative arias.
Progress
Toured for 3 months, performing in 10 cities across the US, Next up: Europe, Asia & New Zealand.
Team
As an artist, ceremonialist & former professional athlete, I radically investigate the shared terrains of body, technology, creatures & land, valuing the body as an imperfect altar that feels to transmit reality. I hold an MFA from CalArts.
