With the considerable help of Shanara Gabrielle and a host of fine actors (and non-actors), we mounted an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream for Shakespeare Festival St. Louis’ SHAKE38 festival. 

We re-imagined the play as an editorial fashion photo shoot with the lovers playing the role of models, Oberon as a photographer (played by real-life photographer Jay Fram), Titania as his producer (played by real-life producer Kathy Ferrara), and Puck as a digital imager (played by real-life digital imager Danny Hommes). Costuming was provided by local fashion genius Michael Drummond.

An audience of 135 people crammed into my studio at Big Club to experience the one-night-only show. 

Completed in 2015

In September 2014, I had the surreal experience of playing against U.S. chess champion Hikaru Nakamura as part of Glenn Kaino’s The Burning Boards performance. With flaming candles for pieces and time literally melting away, Nakamura graciously allowed me 26 moves before delivering a swift and brilliant defeat.
