Here are the regulars:

In September 2007, Vicki performed and served on a roundtable discussant at the Interdependence Day Forum in Mexico City, Mexico.

Lisa Bowden is a poet, master printer, book-artist and co-founder of the 15-year old literary-feminist publishing house called Kore Press.

Kimi Eisele is a writer, dancer/choreographer, and educator. As a teaching artist she helps both children and adults tell stories with words and/or movement. She works as the special projects director for NEW ARTiculations Dance Theatre, where she is recently co-directed “We Are What We Eat,” exploring how modern dance can help us celebrate food and understand better the system that feeds us. Improvisation, she says, saves her life. You can read some of her improvs here: Little Things Add Up and here: See This?
