WHY DO THIS WITH ME?
I have been making performance work for 3 decades. I am a 2022 Guggenheim fellow, a 2021 United States Artist Award recipient and a 2020 Creative Capital Grant awardee. My film Weirdo Night, directed by Mariah Garnett is an official 2021 Sundance Film Festival selection. I was included in Made In LA 2023 and I published a memoir, Hell In A Handbag, in April 2026 on DOPAMINE books. I have performed in big fancy institutions and dingy dives internationally. But also, who cares. The important thing to me is that I can and do do all this shit even though I was/am terrified. The reasons why are that I have had so much help over the years, so much collecting of experiences from so many artists and creators, and I enjoy putting it together in a hot package for people, so that we all may continue to make art. (PS reasons to make art are will be revealed in the workshop)
