Ongoing, Feature Length-

Top 30 is a work in-progress and will be presented as a multi-channels video project or a live performance. Using the experience of turning 30 as a conceptual catalyst, I have created a list of songs for each year of my life, a “Top 30”. For the project, I found non-actress women of each age to sing a song from my Top 30; and I wrote a short anecdotal idiosyncratic story for each year. This idea for this project came together in 2009 when I was living in a suitcase traveling and attending artist residencies. Because I was isolated and far from my comforting everyday, I began to wonder what I had been doing all my life. And then I started thinking about the idea of turning 30. I looked back and created a narrative for each year of my life.
