Performing Disobedience is my current body of work centered around developing the interpersonal capacities to challenge dominant culture. Those capacities include:

​

• coming to know and experience ourselves as creators of culture

• rejecting the myth of the individual

• becoming conspicuous in our not knowing

• increasing our tolerance for self-consciousness, awkwardness, and ambiguity

• restoring our poetic imagination

• resensitizing ourselves to life, beauty, and enchantment

• welcoming emergence and collaborating with accident

​

To this end, I use applied performing arts like Fooling, puppetry, clown, and Theatre of the Oppressed, as well as somatic inquiry, play, relational work, and curious conversation to help my clients and students create new ways of being and relating that do not rely on oppression, urgency, false scarcity, separation, scientism, consumption, or control.
