Nancy Tyler Glenn was born in Los Angeles, California in 1938 to a lesbian mother and gay father. Of herself she says, “I spent my childhood reading, hiking, and bringing home stray kittens. I learned what I know about form and spiritual surfing at Instant Theatre from my mentor-tormentor, performance artist Rachel Rosenthal.
Now retired, I have earned a living as a body worker, producer, researcher, bookkeeper, teacher, and a hundred other things. I have an uncommon love for horses, artists, and cats – especially the wild ones.”
