It's official! our latest project GAWD is headed to @marchedufilm - we stretched the limits of our tools to build this extended cinematic interactive immersive experience and we can't wait to see how it plays out each time. Massive thanks across our team. Stay tuned and follow us on the road to the red carpet. 🤞🤞🤞✨

We had such a great time speaking, sharing, and being inspired by friends new and old. Massive thanks to the whole crew at @futurepixelhouse for having us in the mix and @sxsw for keeping things fresh and staying weird.
We came, we spoke, we raved.

I love when words organize and come out and it isn't all the time. Still thinking about this set with @sharonplaysthepiano and @chriscorsano - y'all don't know the healing you brought/bring me.

Here's an end of summer dump cause the timeline is over, long live the singularity.

1. View as the days shorten from my favorite place to be.
2. The best carrots I've pulled yet from my garden plot.
3. View of one of my plots, it's magic here, who's hungry?
4. I had a mellon grow into the fence roughly the size of my fibroid tumor, cutting it free felt powerful and gentle.
5. Got out in the streets to talk scalable ways experiences get made with new tools for playfulness and purpose. @nilor.studio
6. Another lovely rapid show building and perform for @instigationfestival for @marieacasimir
7. This is the surveillance top of a solar powered unit in a nearby home dopoot parking lot. It was playing classic music. Seriously wtf is this?
8. I see this cursed billboard more than any other art outside my home.
9. Can't say enough how grounding the set from @abstractblack @nick__turner and @cristalsabbagh was. This whole summer tho - like every day I am like damn I love my friends so much I could burst they are all so fucking talented my goodness this is real value of life type shit even with this big hole in my heart y'all just make it grow bigger. Yeah you.
10. Did some business time at the new j-o-b but really my return to bangs and blazers is the real news.
11. I can't believe I grew these lovers.

Oh my goodness y’all, posting some of the amazing pics from the last @freedom_from_and_freedom_to at @elasticarts on April 12th, taken by the incredible Ricardo Adame @ricardoeadame🙌🏾💜✨✨

These shots are from the opening set featuring dancer Irene Hsiao, musicians Jayve Montgomery, Chris Corsano & video artist Kim Alpert!

Thank you to everyone that packed the house to witness, or caught the live twitch.

I want to thank all of the incredible dancers and musicians that poured their hearts out & created new narratives in groups picked by the audience🤟🏾. I laughed, cheered, stomped, and danced due to all of their offerings🙏🏾

Please stay tuned for the next FFFT event on May 17th at Links Hall!
