issues vital to our collective future. This

cross-sector collaborations, the process combines
the voice of artists, cultural workers, educators, scientists, engineers, architects, climatologists, water harvesters, city planners, investors, politicians, and other community members in a hands-on process of creative problem-solving and expression about water issues.

THE TIPPING POINT, Performance and Public Forum: Inspired by Malcolm Gladwell’s bestseller book, “The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference”, in addition to John Zerzan’s “The Psychology of Mass Misery”, this collaborative multi-dimensional performance and public forum demystified the process of creating successfully fun environmental, cultural, political, and highly-spirited movements.
This empowering event focused on the formation and nurturing of a critical mass with a rippling-effect towards positive change. The ideas that arose from the public forums were collected and then later redistributed the audiences from both performances.
THE PALIN DOCTRINE: Written and
performed the day before the
2008 elections, here is an impersonation of VP candidate Sarah
Palin. Stay tuned for "Palin for 2012"...
EARTHQUAKES: A participatory piece, developed through a workshops series, about consumerism, fear and interconnectivity. The Trash 'n' Fashion Show, MC'ed by Jelly the Roach, is crashed by the Quake. The fashion show characters are Environmental Destruction, GMO Food & Drugs, Psychological Manipulation, and War & Violence. Shop 'til ya drop dead!!
UTOPIA/DYSTOPIA: Epic performance where Shamans of the 4 Elements battle Politics, Media, Military, and the Parasite of Fear, a 6-headed puppet (Greed, Pride, Control, Anger, Depression, Apathy). Featured in the 5th Annual Philadelphia Earth Charter Community Summit, sponsored by Alliance for a Sustainable Future.
SOLITARILY CONFINED: Locked in an 8ft. box with peepholes for three days straight, this installation performance is a metaphor to the human condition of the physical, psychological, and emotional boxes we place ourselves.
