Multimedia Performance: Combines all the tricks in the palette. I am currently working with New York City-based performance artist Allison Farrow on a piece with the working title "The Secrets of Cargo Exchange" that explores floatsam, ravage, plastic in the central ocean gyres, the commerce and the overall importance of french fries.

Historically, I have worked with my sister, Heather Beckett, and others on costume-based movement pieces with ethereal narratives. For three years I collaborated with the nationwide Creative Materials Group, and toured Faust/Faustus to San Francisco and the UK. The film made from Faust/Faustus airs at seven international film festivals this year. Pictures coming soon.
