Music: She has 11 contemporary folk/acoustic albums and one toured as a singer and multi-instrumentalist with Joan Baez. Creative Inspiration: Trees, Light. Oceans. The sun and moon. Loss. The compost of my own life experience. The music inherent in language, the metaphor of the body, the magic of gesture, and the mysteries inside silence and stillness. Community Engagement/Activist Work: In training for correctional officers at the Franklin County Sheriff’s office, I improvise performances of individuals experiencing a range of psychological distress or illness. Officers practiced earning trust and cooperation through personal connection rather than customary use of force. Selected training: Shakespeare & Co, intensive actor training, HB Studios (acting), Greenfield Community College (acting, directing), University of California, Berkeley (English literature).
