Rowena Richie is grateful to have another go-round with West Coast Loads of Prose. Richie’s recent highlights include collaborating with Erika Chong Shuch and Ryan D. Tacata on For You, a series of performance works for audiences of twelve, playing Finist the Falcon in the sold-out run of Iron Shoes, dancing in Lizz Roman’s Izzie award-winning Sunset Dances, and earning a Global Brain Health Institute fellowship at UCSF. Rowena’s essays have been published in In Dance and on Litseen.org.
