About Me

A Physicalian Theatrisis of The Circue Persuasion, Did you get that?? neither did I. But the words have their roots in ancient latoon, Meaning Literally "One who has control of and enjoys the Monkey Man-Mind-Body trinity of movement and awareness sessions" circa 1666, or "One who performs brave feats of agility, sensitivity and unknowingness" or for the unwordly "MIME".(silent pause). I am currently in the alchemical process of formulating a plot of epic proportions, Which actually already exists, I just stand by and pull it closer. (silent pause)-(mime pulling rope). And this space is one part of the multi-faceted trigonometry, that is my work. A peculiar ability i have discovered, is to pull the plug on this bombardment of thoughts, words and reactions that make up my mind. And take a trip down the gurgler, a vacuuming of self down a hole into nowherelandness. Pphhhaaaadooooompphh. *CHECK OUT SOME OF MY PICS AND VIDEOS HERE* and come join the festivities at: www.theloons.co.nz
