Oh Great Mystery....the next work is comparable to a child who was born into a tamasic state. A bit difficult, yet sweet, lethargic before noon, and doesn't want to leave the house to play,... this process has been akin forcing the weather to change...impossible. Oh Great Mystery, will take premiere at Dance Theatre Coalition's progressive Proving Ground Festival in Salt Lake City, Utah. I'll be teaching/lecturing at the University, and in the community, and look forward to some steady sunshine, sweating and fresh faces. I am forcing myself into dedicated cardio-training mode, in the hopes the elevation doesn't smoke me, like the last time I toured there. Words about this new 'death art'; there will be snow falling (check), terrorist mask (check), a gi-normous Happy Face costume (check) and rope burns on torso (check check...ouch). This piece has nothing to do with BDSM, everything to do with the question what is necessary in/for/to sacrifice.

Many thank you's....for helping make our show a pivotal success. From the opening night to the closing, we have never felt so grateful for a performance /production experience. We have been mourning the end (sniff sniff). To leave a world like that, where lover's stories unfold, ballads sung, hearts & flesh shown, well... it is like saying goodbye to home. Like leaving an old part of you behind when you move somewhere new... 
This ride the past three weeks (really ten months) has reminded us the power artists/people have in going personal, in fearlessly revealing, and engaging audiences in action and authenticity.

"Imagine..." opens in less than one week...and all things considered,
we are off to a usual tech. We are having that slight panicky feeling accompanied by fits of sleeplessness, tech scheduling difficulties, carloads of random lighting equipment, potential lack of electricity, and can't get the blood to stay dark enough for the Goat Sacrifice we perform on stage. Needless to say, we are doing GREAT! This is exactly how it should be. So why can't I stop crying? Truly, we hope you will join us, because we did not kill this goat in vain (PETA would have our asses), nor do we mind using candle light. It will be something. Trust us.

Imagine...What do shamans, hotel rooms, heavy metal, love songs and streaking have in common?

Long distance relationships are easy when you have telepathy. We are tempting our newly adopted director, Robert Steijn, in Vienna or Berlin, or wherever he is at, to telepathically direct us or send us his genius assistance. (Robert, can you hear us?) We will simultaneously sit down, We in Seattle, he in EU somewhere, and, regardless of time differences, communicate. We are excited to see what happens. Maybe we will resort to email afterwards, or maybe we will trust that what is given is what is needed.
Meanwhile, check out Robert's goings on...find him here at www.unitedsorry.com
