Performer bios:
 Christine Vartoughian is an award-winning, Armenian-American writer and film director/producer whose work has shown at the Museum of the Moving Image, Lincoln Center, and whose feature film, Living with the Dead: A Love Story, is available on Apple TV, Amazon, and Tubi. Her short fiction has been published in The Bookends Review, Quibble Lit, 805 Lit + Art, Audience Askew, and Rock Salt Journal. The Only Way Out Is Through the Window is her debut book and is now available from Rebel Satori Press.
Pete Sturman has been performing since the early 1990s, coming right out of the gate with his own openly queer and irreverent punk-folk style. Since then, he has written hundreds of songs that run the gamut from poignant to side-splitting and everything in between. At the Moving Body Salon he’ll be sharing some of his newest material, with maybe an old chestnut or two thrown in.
 Bryce Leong is an accomplished writer, musician, and singer. She was devoted to the arts since childhood and attended the prestigious Fiorello H LaGuardia High School. She studied music, and as a prolific writer created many stories, memoirs, and poems.
David Belmont is a mixed media artist and community organizer, writing poetry, memoir and short fiction. His latest collection of poetry, Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da, was just published by The Poetry Box. Other writing has appeared in The Poeming Pigeon, Wildflower Muse and FishFood Magazine. A professional musician for over 50 years, David produced 26 albums. WindWater Excursions spent 8 months on the New Age Voice Top 100 Airplay List and in heavy rotation on syndicated radio Echoes. He is currently on faculty of the East Side Institute, an international center promoting alternative radically humanizing approaches to psychology, education and community building; and lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with visual artist Kim Svoboda and their labradoodle Penelope.

 Norman Salant an ongoing Salon supporter, is a singer/
songwriter currently living in New York City. In olden days he was a well-regarded new music saxophonist, composer, and recording artist who also performed cameos with The Residents and Romeo Void. As a songwriter he has no fine arts degrees, has won no awards, never toured or performed at any major festivals, and hardly anyone even knows who he is anymore, but he’s released two critically acclaimed albums and is enjoying life as a songwriter who plays around town and tries to infuse life with beauty and meaning and hope through the power of music and song.
