Summer 2012 Artists in Residence announced

Together these works will make you question who you are and where you came from, all the while dazzling you with costumes, drag, burlesque and puppetry. You're sure to leave out the in-door and not

Hello Everyone, Right now my shared winter residency at CounterPULSE is in full swing and my performers & I are feeling really good about where we are in the process of creating this piece.  We've been working & playing hard in the studio making relevant material and out on the streets & beach shooting video footage.  As we approach our final weeks of editing and shaping what we have into a compelling, succinct piece I am also turning my attention

Exodus. Last chapter, last verse of Porn a la Mexicana In the end there was La Cucaracha and she was pronounced dead: dead and alive--alive and dead with a bud light. (response to Guillermo Nericcio Garcia's birth of a Latina Bombshell) Everyone has dealt with at least one in their space and some of us have had to deal with being called a roach, a cucaracha, vermin. Rumors of Mexicans and other unwanted pests, infesting and infecting, scurry across the

Jennifer Chien and I, Rowena Richie -- a.k.a. "richien"-- have settled on a new title for our piece. After much musing, wordplaying, and a poll we announce: Twindependent, formerly known as Twinstigate. We wanted to change the title from Twinstigate in part because we are past the instigating stage of the process. As the other winter artists-in-residence, along with Miriam Wolodarski, we are now in show-mode. Here's our two-sentence show description: Inspired by both the scientific and metaphorical implications of twinship,
