POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
After a week of creation during my workshop at National Puppetry Conference at @oneill_center Bipedal Walking in a Crocodile Skin is finally open to the public—tonight and tomorrow! In this workshop, we explored the question: How can a dream be artificially constructed? On the first day, twelve participants shared their personal memories. Using those, I created three original dream-stories. Over the course of six days, together with this incredible group, we transformed them into puppetry performances.So—who is it that walks around wearing the skin of a crocodile called “dream”? Our beloved gang of twelve dreamers is here to show you.

Pero like, what do you mean it’s literally our last day?!

This has the potential to be a really long post but I’m already crying and I don’t wanna make everyone (Beth) cry *even though Cheyenne might?* I will keep it short-ish.

If you’ve been following me a long time you know that the past year and a half has been one of the toughest in recent times.

This contract, this show, these people, this city — it’s been medicine for the soul. A healing I didn’t even realize I needed so deeply.

Shout out to all the new friends I made in this beautiful rainy corner of the world, and to every single person who came to see us bring the laughs.

I can’t thank Dámaso and Shawna enough for believing in me enough to fly me across the country. 
Dámaso, our Jéfe Super Troll and the anchor of our piece, leading us with corazón, humor, and straight up boss energy. It’s been amazing to work with you and learn from you.

My Super Troll cast, Gabe, Diana, Beth, Cheyenne, what can I say? Thank you for being the people that my life needed right now to laugh with (in Spanish) cry with (in Spanish) and be vulnerable with (in Spanish, coño) I love you so much, I am honored to have played alongside your talents making tens of thousands of people laugh and for the friendships we’ve created off stage. 

To the backstage crew, production/creative team and everyone involved at Seattle Rep y’all are the real MVPs. The warmth, the excellence, the vibes — unmatched. Thank you for YOUR artistry and welcoming me like family.

I will miss you all. 
Happy Closing mi gente y gracias por todo 
✨😭🤍💃🏻
