She is Guan Yin, protector and compassionate saint. She is Frieda Kahlo, fierce and courageous artist. She is Medussa, beauty whose vanity orchestrated her own demise. These are some of the images used by choreographer Paris Wages to express the many facets of womanhood in her new production, Google Woman.
I am a freelance nonfiction writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. My biggest 'scoop' was interviewing Brian Jones - the original bass player with the Rolling Stones- for my high school newspaper.
For more than 15 years I wrote newsletters, publicity materials and proposals for the Transcendental Meditation organization. I also taught the TM program for more than 35 years, which has deeply informed my interest in development of consciousness.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Dance from UCLA and taught creative dance and movement for ages five through 92. In 1986 I designed the senior citizen exercise program for Summit Medical Center's community outreach program in Oakland, California.
In my writing career I focus on the arts, culture, and the environment.
