  1. BURST in Santa Fe & ABQ

    07.12.2010 by Shannon

    The Railyard Performance Space in Santa Fe is confirmed for a production of my solo performance BURST the weekend of September 10th/11th! Venue and dates have changed! Sept 17/18 and 24/25 at the Santa Fe Performing Arts Center.

    Also, got confirmation that I’ll be performing a condensed version of BURST and co-hosting an improv workshop as the “keynote speaker” at the Consumer Wellness Conference in ABQ September 29th/30th.

    More info by and by.

  2. Back for Some Magic

    07.08.2010 by Shannon

    Some great things are afoot: it looks like I might have an opportunity to bring my solo performance BURST back to the Land of Enchantment for a little more New Mexico magic.

    I’ve been nominated to perform BURST as the keynote speaker at the only peer-run consumer wellness conference in ABQ. I should hear back on that by the end of the week — cross your fingers!

    I’ll also be working and staying in Taos for about 3 weeks, and am looking into venues there and in Santa Fe as well. I figure I will throw possibilities out there and see what sticks.

    New Mexico has always captivated me, and remains an incredibly pivotal place. Somehow, when I’m there, beautiful things emerge, productivity flowers, and my bones settle in a dusty calm.

    An incredibly deep and grateful bow to those who are already making this happen!

    Will keep you updated,

  3. Our Newest Addiction

    10.01.2009 by Shannon

    Perhaps because “effects of modern life on mental health” is a central theme of my show BURST; perhaps because I am a newly-hatched iPhone (ab)user; or perhaps because I am both terrified and titillated by the inevitable momentum of this world into one more virtual — either way, when I read this ( “Internet Addiction Center Opens in U.S.” – NPR.org ) and watched this ( a Sony Vaio spot ) and found the stage website about Social Media Addiction (genius marketing, Sony), I couldn’t help but feel… well, intrigued. Vindicated. Stimulated. Angry. Old. Inspired. Lonely. Fearful. Sad…

    Nauseous.

    [Time Lapse: 120 minutes]

    I’d finish this post, but I seriously just got sidetracked watching YouTube videos and reading NPR articles on social media as it relates to mental health. God save me us all.
