I answer this when people ask what I do (I choose to say what I am rather than what I do): I am a filmmaker, a writer, a performance artist, an installation artist, an actor, a storyteller, a listener and provocateur. 

I fly by the seat of my pants, often being ill-prepared for a situation on purpose in order to see what comes of it. I am fueled by an epiphany realized in the middle of the night or the excitement of throwing myself to the sharks.

This is how I work. I improvise.

im•pro•vise \ˈim-prə-ˌvīz\"/>

• 1. : to compose, recite, play or sing extemporaneously
  2. :  to make, invent or arrange offhand
  3. :  to make or fabricate out of what is conveniently on hand

Improvisation lets me explore the polar opposites within myself and others. I am a compulsive list maker (more the territory of an organized and prepared mind) who is the fortunate beneficiary of happy accidents. Both fuel my creativity.

This is the most honest, exhilarating and authentic way for me to create. 

But there’s more:

I am curious.
I am insatiable.
I dislike perfect.
I think in stories.
I am easily swayed.
I like talking about sex.
I’m interested in taxonomies.
I like broken people and things.
I am uncomfortable in my own skin.
I think the best stuff is at the fringe.
I am a woman but still call myself a chick.
I am interested by the practice of labeling.
I am a very good bad girl and a very bad good girl.
I want to name something that has yet to be named.
