Jamie Leo

I've played a role in the invention of a 'traditional festival' to the first cultivation of beans in Turkey; held a faux-scientific study to assess the impact of Hudson River painting color palettes on USDA-approved food colors; staged a puppet performance performed in Photoshop; read my poetry on stage with Allen Ginsberg; helped design a Broadway hit and Ridiculous shows; written 8 published/performed plays; helped take over CBS News (shouting "FIGHT AIDS, NOT ARABS") the first night Bush 41 began bombing Iraq; designed a bunch of websites for IBM, but quit a job rather that work for Raytheon. I designed arena lighting for an international karate exhibition; painted and animated and directed a Schoenberg opera. I once performed a comic routine as an opening act for the Dead Kennedys, which, all things considered, went very poorly.
