I was transpired! After Grains of Sand I felt the
stage had become my lungs and my feelings were so darkly expanded and bonging
around in there were these particles of life and THEN you came out and started
talking about lungs and holy cow I will see anything you do over & over & over
– you speak my soul. - Barb Bancroft

To Diana and WEERD SISTERS: We stopped for one last
DC experience – luggage in tow -- before returning to Seattle. So glad we
did! It was one of our favorite experiences in DC. Moved me – touched me in
tender places that need touching. I will see my “sisters” in 6 weeks & you
make me remember why we gather! It was inspiring to watch beautiful sisters
of all ages bring their full gifts to the world. Thank you! Thank you! -

A beautiful mix of hilarity and drama. This art
doesn’t take itself too seriously but still should be. Fascinating breaking
down of barriers – sign language and dance merge with each other, and what we
normally think of as children’s humor has an adult audience laughing out loud.
– Joshua Bendor, Obama’s Campaign

The performance was fantastic. I laughed and cried

(Letter) Dear Diana, I so enjoyed the performance
on Sunday. D. Browne and I attended and found it interesting at how timely
it was...it fit right in with a current “worry/be happy” struggle. Moments
struck a particular core emotion – at times so young and humorous, at times so
deeply sad, all very real. Your grace and precision are just beautiful to
watch. Thank you! Joanne Ugolini
-
The elements of life, music, fascinating props, the
