Rebecca Darby, actress and puppeteer, describes the making of her performance piece "Musings on Marilyn Monroe": "Marilyn to me is one of those first brave feminists that so inspired me growing up. Ms. Monroe influenced millions of women on both a conscious and unconscious level. Yet despite her magic, she is still largely elusive and misunderstood. I hope you will love her too. Marilyn remains a star who is utterly human and captivating. People tend to love her or hate her. Although some of her decisions may not have been made with the best judgement, I think as a person she followed her heart and her head to the best of her ability. What other monitor of success is there?"

Beth Norwood is a part-time performance artist living in Huntsville, Alabama. She is also a radio host on WLRH-FM. Her tribute is to Isadora Duncan, one of the great founders of modern dance.

The piece I have selected to interpret is Lenine's song, ‘Hoje Eu Quero Sair So/Tonight I Want To Go Out Alone’ from the album Beleza Tropical 2, which is a collection of Brazilian pop music produced by David Byrne.
