Book me for readings, talks, workshops, and more
Please use my contact form or email thebodyconnected [AT] gmail [DOT] com to book me for a reading or performance; use “Booking” in the subject line, and include a little bit about yourself and your event. In January 2024 I returned to the east coast and am currently in the DMV area (DC, Maryland, Virginia), but I performed regularly around the Twin Cities from 2014-2023. I will gladly travel regionally and nationally for funded opportunities.
I would love to visit your institution, organization, class, or event to talk about queer and genderqueer poetics, disability and embodied poetics, the lyric essay form, hybrid literary and visual forms, multidisciplinary arts practices, as well as the practical elements of being a working artist (creating an adaptable artistic practice, applying for funded opportunities, etc).
I have delivered both long and short versions of a talk called “Embodied Poetics: Queering the Lyric Essay,” which can be tailored to any given environment and audience. A list of my past teaching and presentation experience is available on my Artist CV.
I also welcome proposals for collaborations, commissions, community organizing projects, teaching opportunities, and other opportunities you can dream up. I look forward to hearing from you!
