local treasure, a joyous performer, and an inspired
writer."  He also teaches workshops in solo
performance and writing for the stage.


Keith Hennessy - tours extensively as a solo
performer, director, teacher and collaborator creating
works marked by their untamed physicality, sharp
intelligence and fantastic invocations of queer
spirit.  Keith directs the company Circo Zero, which
is a fusion of popular and experimental, contemporary
and ancient performance forms.  "Keith Hennessy's
stage presence burns; he ignites any subject he
tackles. Sacred, violent, and compassionate impulses
shape our everyday lives; it is through a genius like
Hennessy, though, that we can confront the state of
the human contradiction." --Katia Noyes, SF Weekly


Ellen Sebastian Chang - director, writer and creative
consultant.  Ellen co-founded and was artistic
director of Life On The Water, an active theatrical
