In 1991 zero gravity made a trip to remote vollages in northern Ghana. This experience; recounted in his performance piece “African odyssey” would change the whole trajectory of his life.

Sixteen years later he returns to the dark continent, this time to the refugee camps of northern Uganda. Home is about this journey to a place few have ever seen. The performance is a combination of storytelling, travelogue, meditation & celebration.

World Tour March 17 2007- The Vault, Queens Village, NYC

This show was not about 9-11, but a response to it. It was an exploration of the issues & opportunities it raised for us individually & collectively.

“A number with wings” asked “what if you really believed anything is possible?” The pieces were divided into 2 sections: first “the Program” & then “the possibilities”.

This show was performed at the Magic Theater in San Francisco, The Orange Bear in Manhattan (around the corner from Ground Zero), & The Vault in Queens NYC.
