NEW!
I am growing. On Wednesday, August 30 I performed a memorized piece at WAYE (We Appreciate Your Enthusiasm) in the Palisades. Actually, I caught the eyes of too many and lost my poem. I picked it up again and again, and eventually finished, wearing a very thick Keith Haring robe.
I learned that a "soft gaze" toward the audience is ideal for performing, especially for a new piece. Oops.
I am proud of myself, for branching out and trying something I had been mulling over in my soul for some time. It was a powerful piece and it touched many. My name was on a tiny sidewalk chalkboard. The man of the hour.
Stay tuned for another performance of "I've Been Here Before" at another venue.
