She is the head of Swim Pony Performing Arts for  which   she conceived and directed <em>SURVIVE!<\/em> in 2010 &#8211; a 22,000 sq  foot  performance installation examining the role of humanity in the  universe.  The  following year she created <em>Lady M<\/em> &#8211; an all female spectacle of  original music and movement based on Shakespeare&#8217;s <em>Macbeth<\/em> for the 2011  Philadelphia Live Arts Festival. Her work covers areas ranging from pop  culture (<em>Purr, Pull, Reign<\/em> with  Johnny Showcase) American history (<em>Owning Up to the Corn<\/em> and <em>The  Ballad  of Joe Hill<\/em>), classic literature (<em>The Master and Margarita<\/em> at  Mum  Puppettheatre) and racial tensions within her hometown of Philadelphia  (<em>Recitatif<\/em>,  Philadelphia Live Arts Festival 2007). In  Philadelphia she has  received a 2010 Live Arts Brewery Fellowship and in   2006-2007 she was  awarded the CEC&#8217;s New Edge Residency in Theater.  Adrienne&#8217;s study of  alternative voice has taken her to France&#8217;s Roy Hart  Voice Centre on a  2008 Independence Foundation Fellowship. She also  teaches voice as a  professor at Drexel University and sings backup  vocals as one half of  &#8220;The Truth&#8221; with Johnny Showcase and The Lefty  Lucy Cabaret.
