We’re back at it! “Il Ritorno D’Ulisse” heads to Palermo, Italy to start our nearly three month tour around Italy and France. I’m excited to gather once again with this diverse group of artists from all around the world to bring this opera back to life.
I’m also fortunate to get some traveling in on my own while in Europe. I’ll be seeing you again soon NYC!

What a week! After a holiday season of cheer and travel I decided to jump back in to some rigorous performing by taking a week long workshop with the clown supreme professor of silly himself, Christopher Bayes.
We spent the week opening up to wonder and chaos. I’ve taken classes with teachers who come from the Bayes school of thought but never with the man himself.
It was a joy and a challenge I’m so grateful to have had this chance to practice living in my happy body alongside a bunch of weirdos. If you don’t know Chris’ work check out his work at the Funny School of Good Acting
While it’s sad to see “Moon and Me” come to a close I’m so excited to return home to NYC! I’ll miss my Atlanta friends and coworkers but I bet it’s not the end of my time there.
Here’s to all the friends, family and plays to come! Let’s have fun New York!
We’re back at it!
The Toy House is lit up once again! There are so many new stories to tell and we can only do it with the help of all of our friends!
I’m excited for all the games and all the challenges this season will bring!
Mettawee is back upstate! We’re eating ice cream, doing scratch offs, taking dips in the Battenkill River, and making a play!
This year’s production is of an older Mettawee production “The Ringdoves” with an updated script. We’ll spend several weeks workshopping the production with the aim of doing a tour next summer. It’s always a treat to be making and eating and basking in the country life with this company!
I’m so excited to share that Laser Beak Man was nomintated for 4 Helpmann awards in Australia—Best New Australian Work, Best Play, Best Scenic Design and Best Original Score.! This is such a talented team and the nominations could not be more deserved! Very proud of all!
We’ve come to the end of filming (for now) of “Moon and Me”
I’ve learned so much and had such a good time playing in this kind world. I can’t wait until we get back in the doll house again in the future!
I just spent a wonderful week as a participant in the Professional Development workshop with Lincoln Center’s Big Umbrella Festival.
The Festival is a brand new festival that presents work from around the world created specifically for children on the autism spectrum and their families. There were companies from NYC, England, and Australia all presenting work side by side.
I was lucky to be chosen to participate in the artist professional development. The group was made up of folks from all around the world, all with a passion for creating work for neuro-diverse audiences. It was a wonderful week of viewing, making, thinking, and discussing. I definitely have walked away from the week with a massive amount to consider when making work for any type of audience!
Well, in a new turn of events I have found myself in Atlanta, GA as a part of the puppet team for the new TV show, “Moon and Me”. The show is a BBC production and is the latest creation from Andrew Davenport (creator of The Teletubbies).
The show is a magnificent mix of puppetry and practical effects which all some together to make a carefully crafted, tactile, magical, comforting and funny world full of stories and silly characters. Keep your eyes peeled for “Moon and Me” coming at you soon!
The time has come for me to say goodbye to Feathers Of Fire. I just spent a couple weeks traveling in PA, NY and VA and now I leave the show in the very capable hands of my colleagues. It’s been such a delight to work with this talented crew. I will miss them all! But, I’m very excited to follow the show as it continues to travel the world!!
All the Love FOF!
