Neurotica
Something new is emerging in my work.
For years I’ve immersed myself in conversations and experiences around embodiment, spirituality, sexuality, and what it means to live honestly — even ecstatically — in a human body.
Recently, this exploration has begun expressing itself in a different way.
Comedy.
The deeper I go into emotional truth and aliveness…
the more I find myself laughing.
Not at life.
But inside it.
I didn’t set out to become a comedian.
It turns out humor can be one of the most powerful ways to stay present to being human.
Neurotica explores the strange intersection of desire, aging, and the human psyche — especially through the unfolding experience of a woman becoming more fully herself.
The project lives somewhere between stand-up, storytelling, and ritual performance. It moves through the hilarious and tender terrain where eros meets the overthinking mind.
Menopause.
Motherhood.
Dating.
Sex.
Anxiety.
Where aliveness meets overthinking.
Sexuality is often where the rubber meets the road. It’s where curiosity, shame, fantasy, vulnerability, and vitality all show up at once.
And it’s where much of our neurosis lives.
The aim isn’t to fix any of this.
It’s to turn toward it — together.
Humor offers a kind of eagle view, allowing us to see our patterns without collapsing into shame. In the theater, the audience becomes a shared container where we can witness both the absurdity and the beauty of being human.
Sometimes the jokes land first.
Sometimes the truth does.
Either way, something softens.
And we remember that this strange, messy humanity
is not a mistake.
It is the whole point.
