Here's a performance I did for my old roomate's fundraiser called Upside Downside Theatre. It was a wonderful performance that included tap, beatbox, and rhythm discussion with the audience. Yep I climbed on top a fridge for part of performance.

Call and response with the audience.

10 Ways to Stay Mindful

A list a friend of mine sent me from BC, she's a psychic/healer and here is her 10 tips on being mindful...I concur:

1. Imagine music as earfood to nourish your soul. Listen deeply.
2. Don't eat, text, drink, and talk at once. Do one thing well.
3. When you kiss, don't think about anything (or anyone) else.
3. Take the fast out of breakfast.
4. Read poetry.
5. Wash dishes as if this was your last day on earth.
6. Speak words like you were handing out medicine.
7. Be present while pissing and really enjoy the sensation.
8. Commit to daily goofiness as a sacred path.
9. Mix silence into your morning, not just when showering.
10. Practice gratitude as an antidote to insanity.
