cross-dressing, singing celebrity in 17th-century London.
“Tales of a Sexual Tomboy (A One Woman Comedy),” written and

exploration that investigates the relationships between human
bodies and objects.
New performance works at the University of California, Davis,

original theatre, dance and storytelling with the umbrella title
