"My experience began during a craft workshop to make Star Babies for the show. Making these Star Babies was delightful in multiple ways. Having grown up in a place where automobiles were mass produced influenced my inclination to initiate a production line of mass production. That process would have been "work". When I was redirected to make my own individual Star Baby, the task became a labor of creative fun, joy, and pride. Sharing the experience with the community of creative people present, tapped a synergy that turned the whole experience into a warm and friendly party. Kathy was a positive and encouraging influence on the process that resulted in a collection of very unique and beautiful Star Babies in which we could each take pride. Rather than competing, everyone seemed to be encouraging each other to create the most beautiful Star Baby ever. All the wonderful energy that was put into this creation was then shared with the audience as part of the performance. They could not know the experience of how the Star Babies were born, but I think they could feel the creative energy they carried into the room.
I also had fun wearing the Coyote costume and participating in the performance. I still have my picture in costume on my desk. To become Coyote was a novel experience for me. Participating in the creation process and performing in front of an audience was an opportunity to experience a different part of myself. Connecting with that creativity was extremely meaningful for me. To experience that energy as part of a community served to heighten the value. I would certainly encourage other people to participate in this process. I hope I have the opportunity to participate in the future endeavors of Star of the Sea Studios."
