Well, the website is back after a short hiatus. My apologies to those of you who were looking for me!

It's been a very busy season with a lot of performances. After our big ImprovisAsians! week-long series of activities at SF State April 14-18 I went to LA for performances and lectures at UC Riverside and UCLA (LA Times Festival of Books with Juan Felipe Herrera). The Juan Felipe came up May 5 and gave a wonderful reading at the SF State Poetry Center with me, Melody and Karl Evangelista providing musical support. Then I went to Chicago (with Melody Takata) to join Tatsu Aoki's Miyumi Project in a fabulous concert at the Steppenwolf Theater on May 9. But the fun did not stop as I came back for performances with the Jon Jang Seven and Min Xiao Fen for the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival Saturday May 17. That night I led a trio with John Carlos Perea and Karl Evangelista performing for my son's school Rosa Parks. Whew!

This summer will be a little slow except for a couple of shows in Poland and a work in progress performance with Dohee Lee at the Eastside Arts Alliance August 23. But look out for a lot of perfprmances in the Fall beginning Sept 6-7 with Melody Takata at Counterpulse (also performing is Lee and Wang Dance) and October 16-18 with Dohee Lee at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Keep checking back for details!
