I'll be premiering a character I've been developing the past few months, Valerie Hartman. She'll be giving a brief intro to The System, and why you should attend the infomercial on February 17 at 8pm.
BREAKDOWN is:
Private acts and thoughts expressed in public spaces.
"Madness" and "vulgar" emotion; i.e., unrestrained grief.
Anthropomorphism.
A celebration of unseen/ignored elements of humanity.

Social awkwardness.
Insidious laughter.
