I
conceive, research, design and produce intermedia communications and events.
These events include performances and interactive spectacles in traditional
and non-traditional sites. My delivery systems include installation, performance,
video, photography, digital and traditional print systems, book arts, painting
and discrete objects.
Recent performances have included "Empire Postcards: My Colonial Father[s]" in
England and Toronto, a UK tour of "Faust/Faustus: A Duet For Devils" and "reMEMBERING
WILDE" an intermedia performance featuring an original score by Jeffrey
Stolet. My short film, FAUST/FAUSTUS IN DEPTFORD was selected for the KunstFilmBienale
in Cologne, Germany and the Raindance
Film Festival in London.
I have received
an Ersted Award for Distinguished Teaching and the Williams Fellowship for
undergraduate teaching and for fostering interdisciplinary collaboration within
classrooms and between departments.
In September 2010 I am proud to be joining the fabulous team at College for Creative Studies as
Chair, and Professor, of Fine Arts.
