Ruth would kill for a family. Marion wants to find her true yogic nature. And Karma, well, she’d settle for a bit of sanity. What do an Appalachian midwife, a 1960s homemaker and a slowly unraveling film producer have in common? Nothing. Oh, and everything. * * * * * "Superbly performed. An absolute must-see show" -- Monday Magazine

Guest Artist: Bad Boys Redux – a feminist choreographer learns to love the male ego

After recently reviewing the premiere of my dance trio lunar rouge Alex Ferguson, of Plank Magazine, wanted to know more about my working process. We chatted on the phone for awhile, Alex posing interesting questions, me attempting to respond with some clarity. He then emailed requesting an article from me on any subject I cared to write about.

In Metamorphoses Theatre Company's production of Chicago playwright Mary Zimmerman's Metamorphoses (based on Ovid’s myths of the same name), the ten actors constantly circle into and out of pool of waist-high water - a backyard children's pool edged with stairs and a faux-stone "deck" that functions as the stage.
