Performing Artist
“We tend to use the word story casually, as if stories and narratives were ephemeral decorations for some unchanging underlying reality. The deeper neurological truth is that stories do not cloak reality, but create it, triggering cascades of perception and motivation….Stories are not just stories; they are the best invention ever created for delivering mental models that drive behavior””
As a performer in NYC Tracy was a founding member of Modern Shakespeare Project & Clown Gym, and performed with Hudson Warehouse theater company and the award-winning, Wilder Project.

““But please try and understand,” he begged.
“Damn it,” I said, “I do understand. Only too well.”
“What kind of man are you?” he asked.
“I am a clown,” I said, “and I collect moments. Goodbye.” I hung up.”
Heinrich Boll’s, The Clown, 1963, translated by Leila Vennewitz p. 231.
