I am so pleased to announce that I have been selected as an Artist Facilitator in Residence for April-May 2024 at the Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center in Portland Oregon, to workshop and develop my spoken-sung opera. This is a tremendous opportunity and perfect timing for me to work with the composers, actors, and musicians to see how the work lives in three dimensions. And I am among a cohort of 16 artists who are stunning talents. It's both a wonderful artistic and community opportunity.
