The Endless Frontier, 2009.
The Endless Frontier is a magical, experimental musical journey following two fool-hearty adventurers and a demigod who all seek open space within the collapse of the American West. Brimming with old-time neo-folk songs, set against a giant mountain of junk, The Endless Frontier explores the notion of consumption and expansion amidst a shrinking open landscape. Using text, movement, puppetry, and original music, this piece will take you on a ride through the heartache of the old west and back out again.

The Memory of Water, 2007.
The Memory of Water (2007) is a multimedia performance piece that juxtaposes Black Rock City (Burning Man) with it's mysteries, political contradictions, and utopic myths, alongside the watery, haunting, shadow-world of Katrina-flooded New Orleans.
