Next Year in Jerusalem:

Artists respond to the Holocaust

presented by Visions & Voices , April 14, 2011

at the USC School of Cinema Ray Stark Theatre

I performed an original piece, based on materials from the  recently

acquired Holocaust and Genocide Research Collection at USC’s

Doheny Library. The performance was followed by a panel discussion

about how artists interact with and draw from testimony, specifically

testimony about trauma or catastrophe.

Creativity by Encounter: a PechaKucha presentation

presented at the TCG National Conference in Los Angeles, June 16, 2011

The PechaKucha format—created as a concise way for overly

chatty Japanese architects to present their projects—allows you

to show 20 images, each for only 20 seconds. The images 

(Here, they invited us to use audio and video, as well) advance

automatically and you talk along with the presentation. I found

it a brilliant way to put something together quickly and concisely,

and get a sense of what and how I am thinking.

The session was streamed live. You can watch it on line:

All the presenters have inspiring projects, so enjoy. If you

want to fast forward ahead to my piece, it begins at 1:04:50.
