I believe we all deserve a second chance to better ourselves and the world around us.
About me:
I’m a nationally touring teaching artist. What? One who travels 250+ days out of the year to perform (theatre, dance, music), teach those skills to others (pre K - professional), and produce/write music (3 cds to date, hear them here). I’m co-founder of an educational physical theatre company, Creatively Independent, as well as co-founder of an Americana Indie music label, RoadWorm Music.
A Second Chance (the company who's proceeds fund my KIVA loans) is an extension of all that inspires me. I find expressive, abandoned/discarded sweaters and imagine their lives. I imagine what they can now become and who might be drawn to it. My different arts have common threads: improvise, enjoy the moment, listen, see the big picture and soak in the details.
Recycling, recrafting and supporting charity stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army is how I try and make a difference. I spend most of my time teaching others how to find and express their personal voice.
