My channel began as a project during the pandemic. I started making videos of poetry and dramatic literature that I love. The material seemed also to speak to our situation of living through a time of loss and plague. Gradually some of the poems that I chose coalesced into a solo show that I call "This Garden Plot." I performed it in United SoloShow's Festival 2021. A video of the complete show is here, as are shorter videos of its component parts. There are also videos of poetry honoring friends and partners I lost. And this is now where I post dramatic literature I love; some Shakespeare, and others. And of course there is my reel, a sampling of pieces and roles to promote my new career as I turn back to acting, the craft that means the most to me, after retiring from my 30 year practice as a psychoanalyst. I hope you enjoy what you find here.
