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, that 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 what 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. I have many theories. I have many songs and dances to accompany these theories. I am a lecturer, a philosopher, 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, and the Ontological Hysteric Theatre.
I have performed and recorded several music/performance pieces with my long-time sound collaborator G Lucas Crane, and EHSE Records recently released an LP of our scary stories/scary music in April 2008.
I have also had critical and creative work published in many publications including Performance Research Journal, Plantarchy, Lost and Found Times, and Pilot; I am a founding editor of Ferrum Wheel, and I am an organizing member of the Baltimore's largest performance event, the Transmodern Festival.

Nice to see you. Take care. Keep in touch. Look at me go.
