About the Performers:

Judith-Kate sings, composes, writes poetry, performs, curates and produces events, tends hearth-fires, and tells stories that celebrate aliveness.

Daniel Deardorff (Feb 12, 1952-Sept 19, 2019) was a mythsinger, story-teller, ritualist, composer, recording artist and producer. A polio survivor and early teacher about Otherness, he toured extensively with renowned soft-rock band Seals and Crofts and produced award-winning albums for Pacific Northwest artists. When post-polio sequelae required change, he became an independent scholar of myth, teaching internationally with Robert Bly, Martin Shaw and others. Daniel is also the author of The Other Within: The Genius of Deformity in Myth, Culture and Psyche (3rd edn, Inner Traditions, 2022)
Judith-Kate and Daniel were beloved partners in life, love, and creative collaboration for nearly 14 years. They lived in Port Townsend, where Judith-Kate continues to make her home.
