Performing SPEAK last year at Outside the Box in Boston

I am re-working the third section of SPEAK for an upcoming performance.  My autistic godson Jacob is fully in the studio with me – coming through in little obsessions, mudras, moments of puzzling and illuminated stillness.  Gestures of smearing imaginary speech all over my body, up and down arms, across my chest.  I feel him shaping my whole body into mudras – letting him rip through me, my heart, my heart.  Thank you little man.  I love you.
