Brooklyn, NY
Born 1945, Cleveland, Ohio
I have always been intrigued by the counterpoint between physical gesture and the music of language. Accordingly, I am engaged in an ongoing examination of how these inform, complement, contrast and even contradict each other; and so enable some kind of mutual illumination. An illumination of what it is to be alive. There are many people, especially in the theater of what I call the "already known"; who would will such complexity out of existence, but this cannot be done. Feet in clay, we would sing with angels.
