Identity, especially as defined by inherited culture, has always interested me. I am also fascinated by cultural migration patterns -- people, ideas, language, art -- whether across geographic borders or social strata, how one or more forms can give birth to an entirely new form, purpose, or perspective.

I am even more intrigued by how we define and create ourselves, what compels us to break free from societal and cultural restraints, however forbidding or accepted they may be.

This is what inspires me to write and perform.
