Myrtle Willoughby is a Los Angeles-based performance artist whose work has been featured in Outside In and The L.A. Times. According to one review: "her work weaves flights of fancy and magical realism into the fabric of everyday life-- often creating pieces that are both other-worldly and utterly indistinguishable from her daily routine." Recent performances include: "Standing in Line," a 12-minute meditation on price-checks (staged at Ralph's Supermarket on Cloverfield Blvd) and "If The Shoe Fits," a movement piece highlighting the subtle physicality of a quiet moment in which a woman sits in a chair and slips on a pair of shoes (undisclosed location in Venice Beach). Myrtle's audio recordings-- inspired by the dream diary she has kept since she was a teenager-- will be part of a larger multimedia installation at the Santa Monica Museum of Art in California, tentatively titled, "Goodnight Sweet Prince."
