ASecondChance's Profile

Bio

I’m an internationally touring teaching artist. What? One who travels 250+ days out of the year to perform (theatre, dance, music), teach those skills to others (pre K - professional), and produce/write music (3 cds to date, hear them at www.jesspillmore.com).

I’m co-founder of an educational physical theatre company, Creatively Independent, as well as co-founder of an Americana Indie music label, RoadWorm Music.

A Second Chance is an extension of all that inspires me. I find expressive, abandoned/discarded sweaters and imagine their lives. I imagine what they can now become and who might be drawn to it. My different arts have common threads: improvise, enjoy the moment, listen, see the big picture and soak in the details.

Recycling, recrafting and supporting charity stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army is how I try and make a difference. While on the road so much, I come across some great vintage pieces that don't fit me... so why not spread the love?

I spend most of my time teaching others how to find and express their personal voice. Now, I’m helping these pieces do the same for you.
