Hey, you strange and wonderful patron! 

I'm happy to have you here, for as long as you care to stay. 

Here's a few quick notes about what you can expect from this Patreon:

My writing / posts here come in waves:
Sometimes you'll have many pieces of writing each month (usually a larger story arc, broken up into chapters); other times you'll get a monthly update writing. It reflects the ebb and flow of my creative workload. 
My current BIG project is the "Le Numéro Barbette" project. That's mainly what my writings are about at the moment (although there are occasional departures into film stories, trans anecdotes, etc). To get yourself up to speed on that, I recommend that you check out the #AtelierBarbette hashtag, a series of short vlogs I've made about my last year in-studio! You might also like the #BarbettesSkeleton tag – long-form writing in-the-moment from the first year of creation
If you’re interested in some circus escapism, some of my first writings on this Patreon were on-the-road circus stories from pre-pandemic circus contract adventures. Try the #CHINA  hashtag – I documented day-by-day my experience performing and competing in Zhuhai with my former duo partner, Troy James, at the 6th International China Circus Festival!
If you're interested in my earlier grant creation process (latex vacuum tower + contortion), try the #VACUUM hashtag. This was my first big Canada Council grant, and my first time using this Patreon as a way to document my creative and research process.
Thank you so much for supporting my work, and enjoy! <3
