Her performance for children and families, The Mime Who Talks! includes juggling (and dropping) (oops!) while she talks about the importance of failure in learning and growing. She juggles and tells a story about setting a positive mental attitude to aim for and achieve success. She includes a lecture-demonstration about mime and some silent mime. This performance appeals to families and children in grades 3-8.

Her performance for adults, Mime Explains String Theory, or Mime Explains Life & Death, starts before birth, ends after death, and wobbles unsteadily across the terrain in between. She incorporates mime, puppetry, metaphysics and metaphor. What more could anyone ask for?
