Some inspirations in no particular order: cheap plastic flowers and fruit, sending the mic signal only to the subwoofer, a 4 hour-long DJ set with only strobe lights going the whole time, conjuring the sublime in a basement, anything DIY, the dumbest thing you’ve ever seen, painting air, deep dramaturgical and literary conversations that end up having no bearing on the show whatsoever, low brow, handheld flashlights, and glitter paint on cardboard.

A collaborator at heart, she loves the ideas that arise between minds most of all.
