Dream team Jaguar Mary X and Lisa B Kelley welcome back dreamer Noa (aka Nancy Graham) discussing many dream states and beings, and a reading from their creative dream practice of somniloquies. Somniloquy from Latin meaning somnus to sleep + loqui to speak.
Noa | Nancy O. Graham’s creative practices range from performance in theatre and film to writing and other forms of play with text to image making. Their somniloquies—poems based on sleeptalk—have been published in various online journals and in the books Listening in Dreams: A Compendium of Sound Dreams, Meditations and Rituals for Deep Dreamers by Ione and InFiltration: An Anthology of Innovative Poetry from the Hudson River Valley, edited by Anne Gorrick and Sam Truitt. Her short story based on a dream, I Shefam Im, an annotated story, appeared in The Café Irreal. They act in theatre and film under the name Noa Graham. Recent theatre work has included Kairos Looney’s House of Telescopes (Off Broadway, spring 2024), Paula Vogel’s Indecent at Playhouse on Park in Hartford, CT (winner of Connecticut Critics Circle Award for Best Ensemble, 2023). Recent film work: The short film Elegy for a Glacier (2023), which recently screened at Barnard College’s Athena Film Festival, is streaming on AMC Plus here as part of a collection called Athena Rising Stars.
