Jenna Kline performs mainly for stress relief.

Alejandro Guzman
Alejandro Guzman is a Puerto Rican artist. He creates large wearable wooden sculptures in his studios in Chinatown, New York and The Lower Manhattan Culture Council. He uses these sculptures to engage in fast and frenetic performances.
Lorelei Ramirez
One morning she awoke, did the usual routine; up, scream, stand, brush, teeth, pee, shower, go, work, back, scream, sleep, not sleep, up, and she (like everyone else) went a little bit mad. In order to tame her madness she decided to stay up late nights and perform at open mic's (This was a few months before telling her friend Lucia Love that "I think I want to be a performer, I just want to perform" to which her friend responded "Well, then you're a performer')
