So proud to have been part of the original NewYork cast of You The City when I was a young 17 year old guy!!! So proud to see my photos in this book. I cannot write a normal review since I am biased LOL.......Fiona Templeton's work was and is revolutionary in the history of modern performance art. I am proud to have worked under her direction.
