My poem "Shower" from my multimedia performance piece The Cosmic Body, developed at the University of Chicago Performance Lab through Salonathon.
I developed The Cosmic Body, a 45-minute multimedia installation composed of video, poetry, performance art, ritual, and physical objects in a University of Chicago Performance Lab residency in Summer 2016.

A dance/poetry collaboration with the fabulous Jacinda Ratcliffe, in which she choreographed a piece for four dancers to my poems "Ways I Want to Be Kissed" and "Ways I Want to Be Kissed Part II," written three and a half years apart from each other. The dancers are Jenny Halpern, Iris Hsu, Sam Riese, and Marisa Shimano.
I was featured in the Post-Q Cabaret series at Links Hall in April 2015, curated and produced by JRV Majesty Productions.
