At heart, I am a storyteller.

At heart, I am a storyteller.  

As a child, in my grandmother's backyard, I would create for all of her friends a "theatrical spectacle" of dance, song and storytelling that would travel from a swing to an apple tree to the prairie field next to us. 

It is no wondering that I grew up to be an artist that tells stories through dance, theatre, music, and now film.  

My inspiration is the world around me and all that I see.  I believe poetry to be the essence of language. Dance is the essences of movement and film captures life in its visual essence. 

Love is the essence of living and creating art from this place, allows me to be a conduit of creativity expressing this.  One of the love stories in "Touch" is inspired by my parents, Johnny and Karen, and how my father knew he was going to marry my mother from "the moment he laid eyes on her."  Loss is apart of love. Longing for love is a theme in touch but the moment we understand that we as humans are all interconnected, we are no longer alone on this journey.  

"Mirrors" is a reflection of our need for connection to self, others and what guides us in this world.  Rumi, in the 13th century wrote, "Man & Woman Arguing" about a couple's disagreement over money. I believe his words still ring true in many households today.  Rumi is a poetic storyteller and the reason his words have inspired me and countless others, is because they are timeless.  

Good storytelling is timeless.  Come be apart of the story of "Touch" and "Mirrors" opening May 17th! Buy Tickets $15 in advance, $20 at the door.

I suffered from what they called peripheral artery disease (PAD). I have been suffering for years, Me and my wife searched for a medical cure, and then we came across a testimony of a man who suffered the same and was cured by Dr Chief Lucky. So my wife and I contacted Dr Chief Lucky via an email and thank God he replied. I explained what was wrong and he sent me herbal medicines that helped heal me completely. I am happy to say that herbal medicine is the ultimate and Dr Chief Lucky I am grateful.

I am here to give gratitude to DR ISIKOLO for his help to save my relationship. My boyfriend left me because i was quick to temper and fought him several times due to insecurities seeing him ever getting close to any other lady. I couldn't find any better way to get him to come back to me and DR ISIKOLO came to my rescue. When I contacted him, he told me everything I needed to know about how the love and connection between me and my man will be restored. I complied and he did the work without hesitation and just after 48 hours, My boyfriend called me. I am happy and full of life due to the kindness of DR ISIKOLO. I urge anyone going through problems to contact him now and he will surely help you. Email: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or if you prefer WhatsApp text: +2348133261196
