What’s New?

After a fabulous run of my new solo show, Citizen Brain, at Club Fugazi in San Francisco, followed by a performance at the lovely Marin Shakespeare Company in San Rafael, my empathy revolution marched on with a “grassroots tour” in wonderful people’s backyards — along with some shows in actual theaters!

A cool article on Forbes.com about my show Citizen Brain — and my empathy revolution!

I had a blast during a recent trip to Hartford to perform Citizen Brain at the wonderful Real Art Ways! There was a lovely article in the Hartford Courant, and I had a blast being interviewed on Connecticut Public Radio’s fantastic The Colin McEnroe Show.

The “Citizen Brain” video series!

Welcome to the “Citizen Brain” video series! (Yes, this series has the same name as my latest solo show — I know that’s confusing!) This introductory video includes excerpts from all the individual episodes, which you can see by scrolling down below.

The Empathy Circuit

The first video in a series, titled “Citizen Brain,” that explores the intersection of brain science and social-justice issues.

Age Without Ageism

The second episode in my “Citizen Brain” series explains how fighting ageism can help us live longer—and make the world better.

The Loneliness Paradox

The third episode in the “Citizen Brain” series unlocks the mysteries of loneliness—with the help of some really smart scientists and a few very cute animals.

Othering & Belonging

This fourth video shows us why we should favor belonging over “othering.”

Certainty vs. Doubt

The fifth video in the “Citizen Brain” series explores how we can try to find a balance between the two hemispheres of our brain, so that we can hopefully achieve a productive, cooperative balance in our society as well.
