TEACHING PROJECTS

Finally completed the short video of the 50 hour workshop in Ashland, Oregon in 2012. https://vimeo.com/66863158

Many of the class members are in the So. Oregon University current production of Avenue Q. Bravo to them.

FUTURE PROJECTS

We are in current negotiations to produce 12 episodes of our QUIXOTE for Spanish Television.  This project is taking up most of my time, including the need to learn Spanish language so I can understand the interpreter.

HEEEP O SHEEEP 2-“We have met the enemy and he is my Sheep” This segment includes a nasty tornado.

DIE LORELAI, from H. Heine as a short film.  A German folk song, re-envisioned for our next short video.
