About Me

some of it anyway So well what to say about myself – indecision is my middle name and ‘truth is in the eye of the beholder’, reality is a construct, what do we say about ourselves and more importantly what don’t we say….?? Life is a red herring. So I am German (although my accent disguises it quite well) living in northern/ireland/uk stroke country, and I’m not very good at getting up most mornings, sometimes I’m very focused and busy, other times I enjoy being idle and spend a lot of time staring out of the window or biting off my split ends…. I tend to worry about the state of the planet and our overconsumerist attitudes. I wish proper work was unnecessary and we could all live and think and enjoy ourselves.I do this thing called circus or new circus or Hooha for a living and at times I love it and then I find it incredibly boring and so I try to go in search of new adventures and directions. Lately there seems to be quite a bit of performance art creeping into my life from behind the bushes, keep it coming life I say…I also kind of run a company called Circus Bone Idle (www.circusboneidle.com), which at times feels like looking after three useless, bickering blokes and at other times it’s great fun. I perform in a double act ‘Les Fleurs du Mal’ with the possibly grumpiest man in the world. Apart from that I hope to keep NapSoup, experimental aerial circus movement stuff going in some shape or form and I work with the silly Kenevil and Tina Machina in Tumble Circus’ show: Thon Tar Ceann (Arse Over Head). Recently I’ve inadvertently turned into Belfast Unbound’s head burleski performer, by hooping, crossing and being part of Dearbhla’s marvellous Can Can troupe.Companies or shows I like: Circus Ronaldo, Acrobat, Junebug Symphony etc, Immortal, Fraser Hooper, Nakupelle, Theatre en vol, Freaks In the Box, Candy Butchers…..In 2007 I hope to make an action, do something with a screen across a room, do some Feldenkrais, learn climbing, work hard, party harder, be as open and non judgemental as I possibly can….most of the pictures on my space were taken by my friends Helen (www.munkeybiter.com) and Joan (www.imagesbyjoanie.co.uk)
