A little bit about the Circus Something's collaborative creative process, avant-garde ritual circus theater, and The Longest Day performance intensive. Why we do it this way, why it is important, and how it sets our show apart from the rest. Join us! P.S. Both my Motorola phone AND Instagram decided to offer me an AI pop-up in the middle of my Live to ask if I needed help from the AI. That's what we call "enshitification". P.P.S The internet used to be cool. #circussomething #enshittification #avantgarderitualcircustheater #thelongestday #joinus

Come on, fix your shoulders. Per usual, I don't normally post instructional videos on social media but when I do it is without explanation in order to confuse the tourists, muggles, and hobbyists. Lats are trending! If you know you know. If you don't know, take a class and find out. Sign up links in bio, naturally. 🎶 By @depechemode This one is for Lucy. #iykyk #resetyoyrshoulders #depechemode #10thousandhourstraining #lats

Last week I celebrated my 40th birthday. I survived another year! This week we embarked on the final month of 2025, with the intention to celebrate SURVIVAL. Between my birthday, the end of the year, & the approaching Longest Night, I reflect back on the reality of this year, that I've been hiding from. I was in a very, very dark place.   Many friends, loved ones, & community did not survive the year. This was a year of death for me. I helped carry the weight of 10 deaths... Deaths of many types: disease, old age, accidents, expected and not. Death comes for us all & this year she reminded me with a heavy hand.  As an artist my work becomes me. I hide in it. I make love to it. I express & feel & release through it. My work is my refuge. The weight of death touching every part of my work sent me to an old, dark, familiar place I hadn't been to in a while. I began to lose my spark, my drive, my joy, my light. I was spending so much time in this darkness, working with energies of sorrow and loss, then coming back to them in my creative works with my company, that things became confusing. The existential dread settles comfortably into the folds of our subconscious as a dense fog settles into the pocked, coastal landscape. I wasn't hiding from anything as I thought, it was consuming me & I was too accustomed to the pain to realize what had happened.  It was my community who helped me realize. When we started working on The Longest Night: SURVIVAL things started to get lighter. Can you imagine? Working on a show about the coming darkness and finding light. That is what Circus Something does for me. That is what this company of performing artists does for me. That's, I think, what we do for each other. In creating this show we have all been working through grief & loss & hope & resilience.  It shows, too.  This show has reminded me why I am here.  This work has reminded me why I am important, why we are all important.  This show has become a vessel to transmute grief & celebrate the complexities of SURVIVAL. Join us, please. Tickets at #circussomething #thelongestnight #wintersolstice #survival
