In January 2024, I collaborated with earthbased.media to create a micro film teaser for Once There Was and Once There Was Not - an original choreopoem inspired by the wild woman archetype, as explored in Clarissa Pinkola Estés' seminal work Women Who Run With the Wolves. Rooted in Jungian analysis and woven from intercultural myths, folk tales, and fairy stories, the piece adapts these narratives into characters and settings that reflect the ‘third culture’ experience.

The LOBA Project

In early fall 2025, I am launching The LOBA Project as the next iteration of my creative journey with this material. The LOBA Project is a 6-month container for an intimate group of intrepid beings to devise an immersive ritual theatre performance based on the first half of Women Who Run With the Wolves.

September to October 2025

— Initiation, Intuition, Devotion, Resilience —

We will move through the text together, letting the stories wash over us and seep into our bones. We’ll get together twice a month - virtual or in-person - to engage in mythosomatic practice and discuss the readings; feeding the stories while they feed us.

October through November 2025

— Composition & Creation —

We will begin with some of my previously developed vignettes, and co-create new ones. Think Nadia Lee Cohen and Alexander Jodorovsky meets Sleep No More: there will be puppets, dance music, and honey.

December 2025

— Integration —

This month will be dedicated to rest & integration, as well as giving us time to put finishing touches on costumes, installations, props, video, audio, etc.

January-February 2026

— Rehearsals —

Late February or Early March 2026

— Performances at Dear Tomorrow in Oceanside, CA —

There is no cost to participate, and participants will be compensated for rehearsals and performances. All will take place locally in the San Diego area.

If a story is seed, then we are its soil.

We are its soil: permeable. complex.
