About Me

Neuronaut also known as Ms. Phenomique Weightunderside. The gene pool scout your mamma warned you about.
Upcoming performances -
Uyalunaq Productions was born May 7th, 2008. It my business to promote myself as an artist, and the two shows that I am able to tour with - "Ode to the Polar Bear" and "Wait, Let Me Finish Putting On My Armor" (which involves a cast/crew of 6 other actors). Uyalunaq Productions is also producing a dvd of "Ode to the Polar Bear" to sell this summer.
What does Uyalunaq mean? Uyalunaq is the word for a specific type of rolling cloud unique to the Kaktovik area. It is like a fast and low rolling cloud, that looks like a tube, or like intestines rolling right over you in a very fast way. It is a unique word and a unique term to the area of Kaktovik, the place where I have close ties to.
I was initially going to use Arctic Fire Productions, a name that I have had in mind for over 20 years, yet there are 11 other businesses in Alaska using that combination of words. So, I went with something unique and I wanted it to be an Inupiaq word in the name of the production company. Uyalunaq Productions also hopes to produce a cd of music this year, as well as another dvd and other shows.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Native peoples from New Zealand, Samoa, Fiji - Saami people, Ainu people, other indigenous people from around the world - also anyone who is into video or audio production-recording and/or performance art.

Also - people who may know me or think they might have met me - in a dream or in person. Long lost friends and relatives. People who inspire me to be more real and more in motion.
