the LOBA project is a branch of The Ouroboros Collaborative, dedicated to ritual theatre, experimental dance & mythosomatic storytelling.
An immersive adaptation of the “Once There Was and Once There Was Not” choreopoem: currently in development, for production in early 2026.
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.

If a story is seed, then we are its soil.
We are its soil: permeable. complex.
