Between 2011 and now, I've done various short performances and screenings at Salonathon, a Chicago-based weekly event and more that is home to "underground, emerging, and genre-defying art". See the Salonathon website to learn about the magic that is Salonathon. The weekly Salonathon events at Beauty Bar in Chicago ended in February 2018; Salonathon continues in some other forms. The following is an archive of the various Salonathons I've performed at, with images and videos added as I find them.
