Chandigarh you're beautiful. 
A city designed by Corbusier. 
The audience at this reading, which took place in the British Council office, Chandigarh, India, was very varied and receptive. Afterwards, I had a fascinating conversation with a video game designer about how our creative processes overlap. He said that he had his eyes closed in my performance and felt transported and firmly rooted in the places I led him to, a church, a cab, my aunt's farm, we then discussed how his art requires making a narrative that the player can emotionally invest in, and then creating worlds for this action to happen within.

And the front row was full of these wonderful children! 
Questions they asked me after included 'when you were little, what kind of girl were you, were you a crazy girl?' And 'Are you world famous?'
