• Plato spoke of the necessity for divine madness in the poet.

But safety is only an illusion, and letting it go is part of listening to the silence, and to the spirit.

And in some ways, I don't think you can appreciate the glory of life unless you also know the dark side of life

• With Material for the Spine, I am interested in alloying a technical approach to the processes of improvisation. It is a system for exploring interior and exterior muscles of the back.
