10 things that define my practice

1. that art can shift perception in the public sphere
2. that we need to utilize ways to disrupt social norms and assumptions in order to progress
3. that performance is everything
4. that we don't need institutions to make art
5. that institutional support can be subverted if necessary or desirable
6. that subversion and gray area are o.k.
7. that political processes are flawed and we need new ways to engage with our communities
8. that sometimes it's o.k. to not understand and just to feel
9. that music is everything
10. that we need to create our own folk culture to maintain our humanity in a globalized world
