july update...

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0700

i've been terrible with the updates, i know. i should write more, especially because it helps me log all the special moments that sometimes fly by so quickly, i don't take enough time to savour them. last month, my EDWARD CURTIS family and i celebrated 7 jessie richardson theatre award nominations, including one for "outstanding performance by a female in a lead role" for my portrayal of tormented journalist, ANGELINE. we walked away with only 2, but it was so nice to be recognized for the heart, soul and imagination we put into that piece. you can check out the PHOTO GALLERY for pics from the show.

you can also check out the CALENDAR for upcoming concerts in los angeles and santa fe. i also have a CBC comedy special appearance coming soon, another dance piece in toronto, and some more fun stuff in the future, so i PROMISE to update the site and keep you posted.

happy summer!

yes, i know. i suck at this regular entry thing, but, my heart is in the right place. the good news is that i'm in creation mode. making music, writing stories, choreographing pieces, but unfortunately my creation mode keeps me somewhat hidden from the world. hence, the long absence. so, here i am re-connecting and letting you know that i have concerts coming up in new mexico and some play readings coming up in LA. check out the CALENDAR for more info. xoxo

i feel like an apology is in order. it's been way too long. almost 9 months to be exact. so much news i don't know where to begin. all i know is that i am finally catching up. finally updating my site. finally reconnecting. i hope you enjoy all the new editions - the look, the info, the multi-media. it took a long time to put together, but i wanted to give you a more entertaining experience, rather than just a place for news updates. a big newsletter is coming out shortly. stay tuned... as always, peace & love! t

Back in LA...

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0800

After 3 months on the road, I'm finally settled back in LA and it actually feels good to be home. Especially after catching the big storm in Southern Ontario in November. Ah, winter! Well, I can't give too many details, but I will say that I have a very exciting project in the works. A ballsy show that I created with my sister, Jen. So, I'm just writing away, saying my prayers, and imagining success for our little project! Power to you all, wherever you are... T

Music Festival Time...

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700

After a long, weird pilot season in LA, I am ready to return to the stage (and Canada) to sing my heart out. Check out the CALENDAR for Ottawa and Yellowknife concert dates.

I'll be singing with a new bandmate, Jason Paige, who is lighting up my music with his crazy vocal tricks and beautiful energy.

Hope you enjoy the new sound...

I'm only in the first episode, so if you want to see me playing a Lene Lenape Medicine Woman in this new cop drama series, check out Global TV at 8pmET or FOX TV at 9pmET.

Enjoy!

Butterfly mania...

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0800

I'm days away from the Spirit Awards here in Los Angeles. After what seemed to be the worst possible time to move here (due to the writer's strike), I am confident that I made the right choice. Nominations are really reassuring that way, I guess. Even with the hecticness of it all, I am enjoying the butterflies in my stomach every day. So grateful...

Here are some good links to check out about the awards:
