Last Thursday’s songs you can touch @recessgrove ft. the gorgeous @whoisjernie @danisundream and @cloveronthemic was the birth of something new that I’m very excited to share with you.

That’s Interesting! (@thatsinteresting.studio) is the name of my new platform for the wide variety of creative events that I love to host. Ever since college, designing experiences that enable the artist inside each person to come out and play has been the throughline of the work that has mattered most to me. Late last year I realized it was time to start hosting these events under a wider conceptual umbrella that just my own name.

That’s Interesting! is a curio shop of creative experiences & studio for the playful practice of attention. Some of the kinds of events you can expect to find when you come:

🐣 Interactive performances (music, theatre, hybrid)
🐣 Participatory art parties
🐣 Workshops, salons, and one-day ensemble experiences

I see That’s Interesting! as part of the attention activism movement, recognizing the exploitation of human attention as a critical issue of our time, and creating spaces to practice an alternative to the endless mind-numb of the endless scroll (with gratitude to @schoolofattention among others for this framing). That’s Interesting! is a place to use your attention with intention, and to bring conscious curiosity to the artful beauty of the world around us.

Above all, That’s Interesting! is a place where I truly hope you’ll always be moved to say…that’s interesting! It feels good to be giving a name to something that’s been an important thread in my life for a long time.

Follow the brand-new IG account @thatsinteresting.studio (how often do you get to get in on the ground floor like that?) and RSVP to our next event, the TASK Party at @fabriksocialspaces Dumbo next Friday, February 6. Link in bio.

Stay interesting!!

Take 5 minutes today to go to my YouTube channel and watch the @nprmusic Tiny Desk version of Henrietta’s Treasures. I love it, I’m proud of it, and I think you’ll love it too. You’ll find it at the link in my bio.

This is a song about the bonds that form between older women who own vintage stores and queer people, as we try on costumes to figure out who we really are.

I am deeply grateful to the following folks for making this video possible — and so fun and easy to make:

@mia.friedman_
@benemmerich.music
@gestaltsjournal
@whoisjernie
@actorfiesta
@freddyourlove
@empire.stage

And, of course, Henrietta herself.

Channel your inner Henrietta
Wear the wildest thing
Your heart will thank you for it

Love

What will happen if you attend The Play Principle at @fabriksocialspaces tomorrow night??

Well, we can’t say for sure, since play by its very nature is all about improvisation and emergence and letting the next thing unfold without being sure what it is 😉

BUT…here are some things that might occur:

🤪 you might find yourself engaged in dancing, or deep study, or both at once
😜 you might find yourself in conversation with wise ones, or fools…or both at once
🙃 you might discover the secret!!

The Play Principle is an experiential research seminar on play as a spiritual practice, and as a form of attention activism. What does that mean? Girl idk!! That’s why you need to be there!

If you knew me between the ages of about 7 and 22, “theatre kid” probably would have been the top line item in your understanding of me and what I cared about. In my adult life acting has mostly played a background role, in part because my unfolding artistic journey has taken me other places, and in part because I was afraid to give auditioning a serious try until now.

The last two weekends I had the joy of being back onstage with a ferociously funny and very sweet cast of misfits in @outplaynyc’s THE HOMOSEXUALS, by @ajaggedlittlephil. I! Fucking! Loved it!!! I felt at ease, in flow, and free of the (psychological) drama that made acting feel cluttered and constraining by the time I stopped pursuing it in my 20s. It couldn’t have been a more perfect first show back. I’m grateful to @christophercbasile @davidjosephbaldwin, the cast, and the whole OUT/PLAY team for making this such a joyful experience. Now I’m on the prowl for more 😈😈😈 cast me!! 😘

Ain’t it fun living in the real world?

That’s what TASK Parties are all about: living in the real world of life as a giant improvisation. The structure is simple: write a task, put it in a common pool, pick one, make it happen. Everything that happens in between and as a result — the effervescence, doubt, hyperfocus, diversion, whimsy, and moments of sublime beauty — that is the real world. Ain’t it fun?

Join us April 15. RSVP by Luma at link in bio.
A co-pro of @thatsinteresting.studio @townofhumorville @fabriksocialspaces

TASK Parties are always FREE!

What will happen at the next TASK Party on April 15?
