I generally stay away from super summer block buster movies. I’m more of a romantic comedy/indie/drama girl myself. When, I got free passes to the Pacific Science Center IMAX, I couldn’t pass up the chance to see TRANSFORMERS: Dark Side the Moon.
I mean come on…it was a free movie. (Also, to be fair, I had …

Back in the saddle again.
When Matt asked me to be an artist at quiet Speaks, my blood pressure went up and I started sweating. Thank goodness, i was wearing deodorant.
I hadn’t been on stage in over 6 months.
What if I didn’t know how to act anymore. What if I threw up. What if? I told him to let me …

What inspires me presently, when I think of GENDER.
With the music I listen to, with the movies I watch…
I try to find a connection in some way, shape, or form when it comes to writing something. Right now, I’ve started a couple writing projects via poetry. “The Pretty Women” & “War of the Roses”. Over the past couple weeks, I’ve been feeling as …

The Masculinity Project: Perspective
I took on this project thinking the beginning thought of this being a cool endeavor to be apart of with QUIET Productions. Not truly knowing what exactly would be the starting point, considering I’d never done interviews prior to this. I’ve never involved myself in anything on this level of interaction with people in terms …

I SAW U
I am fascinated by personal ads. From the term “seeking” to the description of people (single, beautiful, tall, genuine, rugged, petite, tattooed), I find our desire to connect with one another truly captivating. To make a somewhat generalized statement, it seems like the pull for connection causes many to throw caution to the wind, to …

Silence
I wrote this, inspired by Roxy Hornbeck’s poem Alone, to explore womanhood meeting motherhood meeting the world. I wanted to express a somewhat darker side of motherhood. Granted there are intricate, fragile, beautiful moments raising children, but despite that there is a deeper side always wondering how to juggle the roles of woman, mother, friend, …

Alone
So, I wrote this poem using different words/phrases I found in magazines about what it means to be woman. For me, I struggle with the answer to that question on a daily basis. I know the prescribed answers and I even know the answers that I want to believe…but the question still sits in my …

Sacrilege in Seattle
I hope the Seahawks lose their game today. I know this will probably annoy a few people and possibly even make a few more angry, but what can I say? I really hate football and I look forward with great anticipation to the season finally being over. It’s all anyone seems to be able to …

The Ballad of a Boy Named Blue
For my project, I chose to look at constructions of gender, in particular “masculinity”, through the medias of a “rock song” and the subsequent “music video” that follows. Both expressions gave me specific tools that I could employ in my ideological articulations of societal issues such as masculine violence and alienation. I will talk through …

“All the World’s a Stage …”: Gender Transgressing In Shakespeare
The Kidnapping of Ganymede
I climbed up the stairs to the back entrance of the stage. The faint sounds of ‘Blondie’ could be heard pushing their way through the beat-up speakers of an old boom-box as a hand full of carpenters added finishing touches to the plywood set of next month’s show. As I opened the …
