It was a first-time collaboration with my brother, filmmaker, Joey Grossfield and premiered at Dixon Place in April 2010 as part of the BRINK series. <i>Reality Sandwiches</i> involved 25 actors with props, a solo performed by me, and Joey’s film, with the same title, playing on a TV onstage. In the Fall of 2010, I was asked to create a scene inside of RoseAnne Spradlin’s <i>blue liz / the sequel</i>. I have shown work at AUNTS, Brooklyn Arts Exchange, BRIC Studio, CATCH, DTW, Movement Research at the Judson Church, Office Ops rooftop in Brooklyn, and The Tank. </font></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Geneva">I was a 2008-2009 Fresh Tracks artist-in-residence at Dance Theater Workshop. </font></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; "><font size="3"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Geneva">As a performer, I have had the honor of working with Chase Granoff, Natalie Green, Miguel Gutierrez, Mariah Maloney, Juliette Mapp, Christine Shallenberg, and Miriam Wolf.
