Face Puller

The past two years I’ve been quietly getting back into acting. I didn’t plan on it, it just happened organically. My life has been the best acting school and acting teacher. If you dare to be great, be open to adversity. There are no limits when you finally let go. Surrender and flow are important aspects of creativity.

Bright Shadow LP Studio Session

Bright Shadow (LP) is a sonic exploration of the tension between utopia and dystopia and poses the question, “What world do we want to build together?” (Video shot and edited by Dominic Polubinski)

Thanks Chris Couto for the added drums and percussion. And Alex Penney for mixing at Monarch Studios.

Based on KOFI and Ben Helten’s original music for Rachel Helten’s interdisciplinary work, “Bright Shadow.”

Bright Shadow @ Dance in Vancouver 2024

”Bright Shadow is a multidisciplinary performance that navigates the interplay between utopia and dystopia through dance, music, spoken word, and immersive digital projections. At its heart lies the question, “What world do we want to build together?” This dynamic work invites audiences to engage actively, integrating interactive technologies to shape the performance in real time. Through vivid storytelling and evocative artistry, Bright Shadow fosters reflection on collective dreams and fears, offering a transformative space to imagine and co-create a more connected and hopeful future.”
