Welcome, I Have Been Expecting You
Welcome, I Have Been Expecting You is how I'm communicating my research, practice, and writings on tarot card readings vis-a-vis contemporary performance. Finding the mode of spectatorship engendered by tarot card readings the most urgent and fulfilling relation I've yet encountered in theatre, I initiated Welcome, I Have Been Expecting You to analyze and advocate tarot's status as contemporary performance practice.
