Fun fight! Choreo workshop at the Lamoille Union Middle School. Awesome kids, awesome director!

Great audition, made better by running into dear friends.

Way too tempting!

Great stage combat training session at Lamoille Union MS! The kids were just great!

Sigh. Idiot.

Today I get to be Obi-wan Kenobi, Will Shakespeare and Ernest Hemingway. It's an odd little life, but I love it.

I have 5, yes 5, presentations of my solo show Will's World, about Shakespeare, today, on his birthday. Later I will be celebrating by hydrating and sleeping!

Fun day playing Jedi for kids in Western MA.

Larger than human size puppets, representing the evil of Trump and ICE, created and performed by NEK VT’s renowned Bread and Puppet troupe in foreground, with dozens of local residents demonstrating for democracy across the street, holding homemade signs, in front of the local courthouse.

Newport VT 4/19/25: Thanks to all the volunteers who organized, cooked & served good food, made signs, made all feel welcome, whether they were born in or chose NEK VT, brought the art (thanks, Bread and Puppet!), trivia, action items, “wins of the week,” constructive community conversation & care!

Vermonters: Please call Gov. Scott’s office today at 802-828-3333 to ask him to cancel our state’s agreement with ICE, or email vermontce.my.vermont.gov/s/governor-o...

At my current vintage, I am so happy to still do the occasional stunt work on film. I am often choreographing these days, but yesterday I got to break out the body armour for a nice little fight scene.

This post was brought to you by Tai Chi and ibuprofen.

Great opening night for Hemingway's Last Drink. Packed house, with a wondrrful response and superb questions after.

He was awesome in this, one of my favorites.

Self care my friend. Well done.

Many thanks!

Launching a new solo show, Hemingway's Last Drink. Reach out to book for libraries, retirement communities, and more.

Opal enjoying lightsaber class.

Awesome!

Started teaching a new, in person Tai Chi for Balance class. Wonderful group of dedicated seniors. Good reviews so far.

A lovely 25 below zero here in the North. My dog and I still managed a 2 mile walk, but today will be a writing and planning day.

This was a good read at 4:30 in the morning when the dog had to go out in -17 weather! Thank you.

Amen.

My favorite bit of Chinese lore. Along with Zhang Sanfeng.

It is a terrifying world right now and will be for some time. I fear. But it's important to hold your own Center and peace, and to try to help others find that in themselves. Really nice to chat with you, sorry we only get 300 words per message LOL.

Tai Chi and Qigong have been life-altering for me. I've been playing at them for 15 years, and teaching for 12:00 or so. It's a real life changer.
