Do different! When performing live do the unexpected. Riley, heard some of my talking points and he was like “let’s reverse the shot”
GENIUS IDEA: Instead of me being up on the stage the whole time, the audience became part of the talk & I was able to bring them into it which created more energy and audience focus.
BKNUS: AND they got to see themselves on the big screens that flanked the stage
BTW: this worked b/c we tried different ideas at REHEARSAL. Rehearsal is a must. Gives you opportunity to create surprise and delight.
Performers, Creators, DO DIFFERENT!

Building something Baltimore has never seen. Looking for 1 person to join the team to help bring it to life.
We are producing a broadcast-quality speaker series filmed live at the Baltimore Museum of Art that brings established cultural icons together with young, aspiring, Maryland performing and visual artists for live performance, real-time mentorship, and entrepreneurship education.
Think Podcast meets Performance meets Masterclass.
We are looking for a Director of Partnerships. Someone who already knows Baltimore and Maryland’s corporate, institutional, and arts landscape. Someone with relationships and the confidence to open doors. I close. You open.
If that’s you or someone you know, send a Dm to me & tag them in the comments.
This will be seen nationally, so let’s build something will be proud of.
Opera and Ballet are dying???
Writing, rewriting. Reading, re-reading. Anytime & Anywhere it hits me. I’m all in. I start shopping it next week. My 1st book 🤞
