Marian Middle School

Invited
So much of why I initially fell in love with St. Louis was the omnipresent invite to collaborate — making music, team-teaching, cameos in performances, draw-swaps. The backdrop of our crumbling and rebirthing city is fodder for many epic co-creations. Pictured here are: *A concert in a dumpster, idea via then Wash-U student Dwyer Kilcollin [...]

Empire Free Cherokee
. Ever since I moved here in 2004 and the crack addicts would prophecy to me and follow me around while I shopped in Globe Drug, I grew the walking fantasy that We Are All All-ready Here. I felt and sensed that this is it!, all the ancient kings and queens and crowned misfits returning [...]
“Free School” @ CAMP
The Community Arts and Movement Project has been one of my favorite places to learn in STL. Dynamic, homegrown, peer-to-peer, spontaneous: the willingness to try prevails. To date, I’ve been involved with Drawing Night, Yoga Skillshare, the Afterschool Experiment, FOOTBEAT Singalongs, Parade Workshops, and Garden Love GetTogethers (Seedbombs and seed starts).

In short, the charette produced three ideas voted on over [...]
Metamorphosis
In this multimedia meditation/perfomance, Kelsey LaPoint created a script that described the stages of transformation and the power of the mind to manifest. For my ‘caterpillar act’, I wrote and sang The Foghorn Song about the solitary unknowing waiting of inner work. It was so fun to sing with the entire cast toning the [...]

SCOSAG
The South City Open Studio and Gallery / I cut my teeth and earned my feather at SCOSAG. New in town in 2002, I heard an interview with Jenna Baeur on KDHX and proceeded to bop into the studio to introduce myself and start volunteering. The rattles on the mantel, treasure maps and cryptic doodles [...]
AckNOWledge Mural
The Acknowledge Wall / Temporary interactive mural installation on Cherokee Street (Cinco de Mayo 2006) It was a strange and wonderful spring. I was learning to feel and discern the distinctions between intuition, vision, and paranoia. I would go sit in the rubble of the Empire Sandwich Shop that had fallen and sing songs. I [...]
