About Love: the bittersweet heart

The bittersweet heart isn’t a downer. It’s focusing it’s lens on “love past the bursting of passion in each artery wall and sticky bit of skin. Love past the years–that lasting, longed-for, whole adult love…”

About Love is a gift book and a 40 minute show that tours easily. Here are some pictures from the February debut at HipBone Studio in Portland.

Broken Hearts Seem Such a Waste

This piece from About Love has gone thorugh a lot of transformation–from problem piece to oneof the centerpieces of the show.  I’ll feature this piece at Scratch–Portland’s wonderful performance lab. In the meantime, what do we do with that detritus from love gone bad?

Rejection

Sometimes we’re our own worst enemy. That’s not just an old adage. It’s time to stop rejecting the stuff inside (and outside) us and to stop internalizing all that other “rejection” we may run across. Rejection is from Big Words. It’s featured in the book About Love; the bittersweet heart,
now available for Holiday Delivery.

Balancing on My Heart

Some pieces needed re recording for the new site and this is one of them. This is part of my book–About Love: the bittersweet heart. This was my most downloaded piece from the old site. For me, the feel of this piece has changed quite a bit as I’ve gone further down the road with this project.
