Real --->

Oh, hello there, nice to see you again. Come close, I have some things to tell you, stories both mordant and morbid, and songs of hope and disaster. I will whisper into your trusting ear, or maybe scream in your face.
You know me, I'm a writer of strange performances and performer of mysterious writings. But alas, I must confess, it is all lies. Yet I aspire to lie gracefully, so where you decline me in trust, please indulge me with sympathy. Say to me, "I do not trust you, but I sympathize with you." I will appreciate that, and it will be just enough for me to move on to the next performance. When I speak, it is only about love, death and the future (where memories go to die). I have many theories. I have many songs and dances to accompany these theories. I am a monologist, a writer, a song and dance man.

I have told these lies and moved these fragile hands in many places including Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center, D.C. Art Center, Baltimore Theatre Project, the Ontological Hysteric Theatre, The Cube Microplex in Bristol, Baltimore Museum of Art, The Warhol Museum and many more.
I am the founding director of Performance Thanatology, a performance group that has entertained, frightened and confused audiences with their interdisciplinary hysterics since 1999.
I am a founding editor of Ferrum Wheel, I was an organizing member of the Baltimore's largest performance event, the Transmodern Festival from 2004-2009 and was the founding artistic director of The Loft Theatre in Baltimore.
Other affiliations include the band Geodesic Gnome, the tragicomedy duo Martin & Lawrence, and the Bufffluxus sound poetry ensemble.

It's always nice to see you. Take care. Keep in touch. I'm going now.
