Its a wrap on At The Masquerade Ball. 4 performances, 4 packed houses, and 4 audiences laughing at my nonsense.

The road to perfection is filled with misery - measuring yourself against others constantly, trying to achieve some arbitrary standard someone else set, crushing your uniqueness to fit in the mold, these only leave you robbed of joy. It’s hard to sustain the hard work and effort you need to achieve your dreams when you are constantly fighting against yourself like this.

Meanwhile, the road of learning is filled with never ending wonder, connections, curiosity, and infinite growth, even if it’s not in the exact direction you imagined. This cycle gives you pleasure and encourages you to keep experimenting, taking risks, putting in the hours.

Chose wisely which gods you worship, and be careful what you cultivate.

This is 30 - captured a few weeks after the close of my Saturn Return in June. Feeling like the strongest, most genderf*ckd, queer, vulnerable, whimsical, visible, and inspired version of myself to date. And we’re only getting more insufferable from here, fam✨☄️💫

In these photos, for perhaps the first time in my performance journey, I feel seen in the gender fluidity of my authentic body. Raw. Undressed. Unfiltered. Without elaborate costume or makeup. Just myself - and I’m learning that’s enough.

Summer is ending, but camp is forever.

Photos by the incomparable @amesgoesup of our recent Dream Show: A Summer Camp Cabaret.

We're taking a brief hiatus as our members work various fall contracts. But we'll be back soon enough and ready for our third cohort of players.

@wearewildarts 's Jam Jam was absolutely everything this weekend! What you can't see in these videos are the amazing friends, the wonderful offerings of nourishment and art in so many forms, the perfect, starfilled sky, and the soft warmth of gathering around a fire. What you can see is the joy, wonder, and awe that a group of people like this creates. I am forever grateful to get to share it.
