don't know where to start

Pulling my luggage over cobbled, Fellini-esque,eerily silent streets through Rome the night I arrived. Everyone was watching the Italy - Germany World Cup game. Then the whole city erupted into crazy jubilation at 11.30pm when Italy won.

My performance in Rome at Angelo Mai - and being told my work was like Picasso's: We don't always recognize the faces, but we recognize the life in his pictures. You perform life.

4-hour train ride to Bologna, through fields of sunflowers. Warm summer rain pounding down on us.
