About Me



I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

- - Gypsified star-gazer, heavy duty artistic dreamer, here to create, strive, direct, teach and, of course, learn in this sometimes vacuum-contained, crazy thing called Life.Here for you, me, and our collective imaginations, here for the artists, wierdos, bold, bad and beautiful ones that wish to make the world more interesting through their art and visionsI started with a dark and experimental ethnic troupe, and it has blossomed into the creative collective, much more than anything I could have dreamed of. I embrace that Middle Passage between extreme darkness and light, and it's been a most interesting journey so far....Our Newest Project:

NIGHT OF 1000 GODDESSES 2007!- SEPT 16th! This year: more stellar dancers, more drama, mor surprises! See below: www.chovexani.com/Nightof1000goddesses.htmCheck out last's years show, below.

My Interests

Middle Eastern dance, flamenco, East Indian Dance and theater, ethnic performing arts (storytelling, puppetry, etc), Middle Eastern Drum, costuming, theater arts, jewelry design, buddhism, sufism, poi and fire dance, special FX in theater, helping others, children's dance and theater, yoga, events creation...any and all creative and thoughtful endeavors

I'd like to meet:

Other intense artists to reshape the New York Performing arts scene...other ethnic dancers to create a unique new theater and dance experience. The dreamers, drummers, musicians, bards. Those light beings, those hiding in the shadows. Dark Swans, pixies, photographers, illustrators, DJ's, acrobats, anyone who has creativity running through their brain and the desire to see it through. Please see www.chovexani.com for more info

Music:

Anything besides heavy country and heavy rap. Current Faves are Knossos, Maduro and anything EMP related. I like electrotribal and ambient beats and alot o' fusion.

Clockwork Orange, anything Froud-oriented, Brazil, anything Akira Kurosawa...hmm, must think more on this one...

BE-ing, The book of Kabbalah and the Three Religions, The Tribal Bible, The Bellydance Book, Playing with Fire: the Art of Julie Taymor, The Art of Happiness, The Art of War, The Tao of Pooh, Seussisms, The Poetry of Rumi, If the Buddha Loved....uggh, I could go on forever with this list...

Heroes:

In this day and age, what are heroes? I've always believed that each individual could be their own hero, if they put in the effort. Humanity itself has the potential for heroism. How? Believe.
