Conceived as a love letter to the NY performance community that has been my home for the past ten years, We deserve each other. began with a series of solos performed over the summer of 2010. Each of these short works was created as an homage to a specific person (or in some cases two) who have been my inspiring collaborators over the past decade.
After each of these intimate performances, I posted a bit about my experience presenting the work. You can read these posts by clicking on the names below.
