We are: Bored of Directors! This is the amoeba:
Sophie Wood is a sequin lover and a clown. She writes tiny poems, dances, teaches Shakespeare, makes pinatas, grows dry beans and dreams of one day making money off of these shenanigans. She is the secretary general of The Royal Frog Ballet, and can't help it because she is the oldest child.
Matt Lorenz is totally lovable but will take forever to write his own bio. He is an exquisite musician, one-man-band, director of music and tools, and all around junk collector. He makes sounds and sculptures, and, very rarely, his bed.
Julia Read is a fiddler-singer-song-writing-crooner and hooter, living in NYC. She writes and draws and makes strange shapes with her body and her face, and tours the country as a rock and roll star sometimes. She is a clown, even if she doesn't mean to be.
Lily Gold is a dancer and lover of dirt from NYC. She moves, choreographs, collages, laughs like a banshee, sculpts soft things like air and string and tissue paper, and makes stunning earrings that turn all who wear them in to pieces of art. If pressed, she will also admit that she is a gorgeous photographer. Both her, and the photographs.
Maureen Mulderig is very excitable. She is a filmmaker, a clown, sculpts with rocks and water and fabric, makes jam and writes poetry. Sometimes she sings very quietly, and occasionally loudly. She is a weeper and a weaver.
Chelsea Granger is a sketcher, eraser, painter, curator, and coffee spiller. She makes tiny art and BIG art and see-through art, and art on posters, on plywood, on walls and in bars. She loves the library, and flowers when they are dying.
Kailie Larkin is an improv genius. She clowns, writes poetry, cooks magical bread in a pot, teaches Shakespeare in bulk, makes lanterns, writes plays, and is a hearty advocate for the Delicious Movement Movement. She is currently busy emerging from her chrysallis.
Caitlin Johnson is a recipient of the Goodfellow Fellowship, which nobody can deny. She is a dancer, choreographer and wears gold lame like a true artist. She bops in the ballroom, sings opera in the shower, and does standup comedy routines while standing, sitting and lying down.
Jazer Giles is a tambourine stomper, accordion squeezer, piano dazzler, singer, mobile sculptor, fixer of many things, and mathematician (which is really why we keep him around). He writes a lot of letters, so maybe if you're nice to him, he'll write you one. Or give you a ride on his motorcycle.
Sarah Blackwell is a print-maker, painter, drawer, sculptor, curator, master installer, aspiring world traveler and karoake queen. She occasionally farms and makes one mean cup of coffee. She means business.
Some of our fabulous collaborators..
Mary Read is a dancer and choreographer in NYC. She makes beautiful sewn things, masks and grotesque bodies, and can make her chin quiver on command. Sometimes, when she has a little free time, she is a movie star.
Morgan Rhodewalt thinks big (though next time he may think small.) He is a puppeteer, stilter, juggler, enthusiastic party organizer, and excitable story teller. Ask him to make you cheesy brussel sprouts sometime....
Hazel Wood is the gleeful benefactor of nepotism. Having been artistically coerced from a young age, she plays pop songs on her ukelele (among other instruments), makes books and prints, teaches art, wears costumes when asked (and sometimes when not asked) and carves a mean, mean pumpkin.
Jasmine Stine is a
bookmaker, avid canner, cheesemonger, and no-nonsense lady of business.
She promotes and supports socially-minded small businesses around the world,
while leading a double life as performance artist, pinhole photographer, clown,
and harmoniceur. She is a rennaissance woman. She is too pretty to have her picture up these days.
