I'm gearing up to
take my solo show The Boycott to
Copenhagen for the climate talks in December. I'll be performing at
Klimaforum09 on Thursday, December
10, 8pm at DGI-Byen, Red Hall.
I'll also be helping support the hunger
strikers of Climate Justice
Fast! They're a brave group of souls undertaking a long term
hunger strike to bring awareness to the climate crisis.
When I get back, I'll be doing a new solo
piece about my trip called Flight. I'll be performing it
Saturday, January 9, 7pm, at the Burlington International Airport.
It's part of the Vermont Arts Council's project
The Art of Action. The performance is sponsored by
Candles & Creations.
Thanks ladies!
I'm also performing The Boycott at
Vermont Commons School
Thursday, January 14. More info on that soon.
Finally, I'm already starting to book
weddings for 2010. So book your wedding
with me soon!

I'm working on a
very exciting project - the Vermont 350 Dance Party. It's part of
350.org's international day of climate
action.
We're having a concert at
Higher Ground with 2 great
dance bands - Spiritual Rez and
Barefoot Truth.
Then the concert is getting simulcast
on line and on cable so that people all around the state (and world) can
have their own parties with the live feed from Higher Ground.
For more info, including finding a
dance party or hosting your own, please visit our
website.

I'm volunteering on
the PR team for Climate
Justice Fast, an international hunger strike taking place from
November 2 through to the UN climate negotiations in Copenhagen in
December.
The fasters are a
group of incredibly committed, engaged people from all over the world, and
I'm honored to be helping out.

When asked if I am pessimistic or optimistic about the future, my answer
is always the same: If you look at the science about what is happening on
earth and aren’t pessimistic, you don’t understand the data. But if you
meet the people who are working to restore this earth and the lives of the
poor, and you aren’t optimistic, you haven’t got a pulse.

If there is a future wave of wellness on this planet, of harmony, of
peace, of an end to war, of mutual understanding, of equality, of
fairness, I don't expect it will come from a government, a military force
or a corporation. I no longer even expect it to come from the religions of
the world, which together seem to have brought us as much war as they have
peace. If there is a future of peace for humankind, if there is to be an
understanding of how these invisible, internal things should fit together,
I expect it will come from the artists, because that's what we do.
