grateful for another year in song // some 2025 highlights ✨ had a wonderful time free improvising full sets - making up all of the music and all of the lyrics live on stage! with pianist @justinhiscox at Highly Likely Festival presented by @miracle__territory and @takecoverbooks . And with Matt Brubeck at @cmcnational in Toronto and at Something Else Festival by @zulapresents in Hamilton. I recorded avant-garde vocals for Justin Hiscox’s beautiful music for @4thlinetheatre ’s premiere run of The Housekeeper. And also for @iammorgandoctor ’s incredible score for @onditimoner ’s powerful film @allthewallscamedown - currently short-listed for the Oscars, Best Documentary short film! And had a fabulous time putting on a multi-arts concert A Broader View - with @victoriayeh , @atelier.ludmila.gallery , @samuelquinn1 , and Mike Graham with the support of @ec3ptbo for @artsweekptbo grateful to community, audiences, collaborators, presenters and funders. Together we make it happen. special things in the works for 2026! 💫 Happy New Year! ✨

I love reading all the posts today and the multiplicity of perspectives. A shout out today to all people who identify as women, who have been told at some point they are a woman or have had experiences that they feel are women’s experiences. And thank you to all those people who have created and held spaces for the experience of being a woman to be a safe, loving, positive, expressive, visible, connected, wise, sacred, fun, free experience. There is so much variation in what a woman is and what a woman means. It’s neverending and deep and wonderful. I love that. #internationalwomensday #femme 📷@timleyes
