Long ago in a shining city far away I made an opera with Bill T. Jones and Leroy Jenkins. While doing that I met two of the artists who danced in the piece, Edisa Weeks and Homer Avila. We became friends. Then years later Homer Avila introduced me to his friend, disability activist, scholar, dancer and memoirist, Simi Linton. Then Simi and I became friends. We used to see a fair amount of each other. In Central Park and Koreatown. Then she started making a movie. And I moved here. Our 3D relationship is now 2D. But whatcha gonna do? Above is the trailer for Simi and Christian von Tippelskirch's work.
