Insides Out

Insides Out!
Insides OUT! is the emotionally charged and hilarious story of one young person’s journey from her high school and college years through her introduction to the working world. Abuse of alcohol, drugs, food, and sex, mark a journey into and ultimately out of self-loathing. The performance seeks to depict the lifelong struggle for integration of the many aspects of the self, and the continued voyage towards peace of mind. The psychoanalyst Carl Jung suggests that the human psyche comprises many different archetypal characters. In this powerful performance, Ms. Rubin uses stand up comedy, poetry, song, improvisation, and monologue to tell the story of the conflict among seven particular archetypes in her psyche: The Inner Child (Baby Katie), The Hostage (Big Katie), The Romantic (Sylvia), The Judge (The Perfect Monster), The Trickster (Hank), The Artist (Poet), and The Wise Woman.Big Katie’s journey takes her through years of drinking, self destructive sexual encounters, and generally reckless behaviors, all of which ultimately drive her into the ground and to her own “emotional bottom.” Having hit this place of vulnerability and selflessness, she becomes willing to “do it a different way,” and in so doing, discovers who she really is, after all.Audiences say that the show not only had them laughing and crying at the same time, but helped them come to accept and embrace all of their inner “selves.” As in “Big Katie’s” journey, the child archetype can serve to inspire and excite us, the addict can help create spaces in our lives where we can experience pleasure, and the judge can make sure we show up on time for our commitments. Insides OUT! helps us remember that every emotion, every aspect of the psyche provides energy that we can use to develop ourselves and to bring joy and healing to those around us.

Amazing and Sage A Joke-o-so-thoem

Amazing & Sage A Joke-o-so-theom
“Amazing and Sage” is what I like to call an extended “Jokeosothoem:” It is one long joke/song/theatrical poem. It is a story, my continuing story, of the evolution of a human, me, as she trudges the road of the deep spiritual walking that emerges as a result of letting go of dysfunctional relationships and relationship patterns. And it happens to be told almost entirely in poetic language like this: (Speaking to an ex-boyfriend on the phone)It’s a combo Of graceAnd displacementOf WarmthAnd frustrationThere’s certainly been an engravementIn my chestBut the restIs important tooThe best!I need to see your neckAnd armsI need you to affect me DirectlyI need to beAlarmedDisarmedThis distance thing has lost it’s charmI mean,Do you want to come visit? I miss itI mean, YOUI miss youI know you’re busy and all,But I’d love to see you soon,PaulI’d love to…I understand if you can’t.PAULYeah…HERI understand…I’m scantly cladDoes that help?PAUL…Not reallyHERWell.Ok, then.

"[Her] show is a living masterpiece! Her characters are tragic, comedic, sardonic and sassy, each one mirroring the best and worst in all of us. Not since Lily Tomlin in 'Search for Signs of Intelligent Life' have I been so moved by an artistic performance. [She] is brilliant and her show is spellbinding from beginning to end... If you have a chance to book her, by all means do it!"--Jan Phillips, author of Marry Your Muse, God is at Eye Level, Making Peace, A Waistis a Terrible Thing to Mind"Magnificent, stunning, gripping, funny. Deeeeeeeeep."-- Anonymous writer"Katie's performance takes us on a journey, the journey of what it means to search for ourselves throughout our lives."-- Anonymous writer
