Updates

Things are changing and stuff is happening!

I've gotten a lot done in the pandemic, but one thing I haven't made much progress on is updating this blog.  There are still two or three YEARS of shows I need to update on here.  But as always (pandemic or not) I'd rather be doing than reporting.  And so I interrupt my backlogging catch-up process to bring current updates!

My gender

.Back in June, I finally came out as a non-binary trans person.  For clarity's sake, I will add that I'm not taking down photos on this site of me presenting as male, since it's part of my history, I still enjoy the pictures, and I intend to keep playing characters of all genders (as I always have!)

Go Go Go Goroff

I got really excited about the congressional campaign of Dr. Nancy Goroff, a scientist who believes in climate change.  So I wrote this parody of Go Go Go Joseph from Joseph and the Amazing Technical Dreamcoat, and with the help of a few dear collaborators turned it into this music video and unofficial campaign commercial:

Creatures of Yes Renaissance 

You gooooootta catch up on Creatures of Yes videos, which we've been releasing weekly!  I'm now producing and co-writing as well as puppeteering, building new puppets and fabricating set pieces.  I voice Murmel, Agnes, Walter, and Alphonso.  Here's our first short film (which kicks off the weekly series we are currently in.)

More updates to come!

There's so much to catch up on, both new projects as well as old stuff I never had time to write about.  I can't believe I haven't done an actual post about The Amazing Story Machine yet.  Gah.  Check out this cool little film we made.  Or look at the trailer below: 

Right now ​I'm studying woodcarving with master puppeteer Bernd Ogrodnik.  Toby and I are doing more work on The Comedy of Wizards and developing a new holiday show, A Krampus Carol​.  Here ends this disjointed post.
