MORE ABOUT ME
I am rediscovering what it takes to be a writer and theater artist for my whole life, not just when I was young and full of eros. I want to be making things in groups until I am sure I have nothing more to say, which hasn't happened yet. I think works of the imagination are one of the most important and fragile tools we have to combat the existential threats we face as a world. I believe in changing the world, one imagination at a time. 

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
I am working on a sung film, exploring the vicissitudes of caregiving, called "Teresa".
