Here in Berlin with Esther Neff, Valerie Kuehne, and Anya Liftig as part of Month of Performance Art Berlin! My first time in Europe has been a whirlwind I will never forget!

Covito with No Collective, perform NATURE FETISH at CPR and Grace Exhibition Space, and perform John Cage's epic Empty Words at Roulette, Exapno, and other spaces in the downtown Brooklyn area with Varispeed.
