Field notes
The project treats tennis practice as a condition of the work: songs, one-person music theatre, animation, installations, comedy, and training develop in a reciprocal relationship. The page documents works from 2020 onward and includes a profile and a CV listing education, grants, performances, and releases. Some materials remain in progress: the full archive and video links are marked as coming soon, while a 2027 theatre date and November 2026 album are listed as scheduled.
