come closer to the fire so that i may see what you are saying...

About Me

¨Movement never lies¨-Martha Grahm. I dance. I am much more than my dancer persona, but that persona also makes me who I am. I am both ridiculous and completely straightforward. I train in, teach and perform many different styles of movement. I just started doing Bikram yoga, and it has inspired me to really push myself harder than ever before to obtain the goals that I have set for myself...anything is possible with an open mind and determination. I also have been training most recently in Ballet and Laban/Bartinieff movement fundamentals, where I am reminding my body on how to move more purely in dance and throughout life. I make most of my own costumes, and try to use recycled materials as much as possible. I used to teach dance in Northern California, and still do on occasion, but my passion lies in performing whenever I can, be it solo, with different productions, or with whomever is there and is willing to share their fabulousness...I'm always ready to take on new performance experiences and to meet entertainers...well, anyone really...who does what they do for no other reason but because they feel the love. I try not to take life too seriously and know that it's cause for great inspiration, be it a tense situation or a joyous celebration...its what you do with that muse is what matters. I also have an uncanny fascination with spontaneous combustion.Heres a little of what I do...music: Raquy and the Cavemen .. "music: Rosin Murphy.. "Thanks to Luis at Luxvibes! Check out his page...www.myspace.com/luxmob... I have the pleasure of performing in the Cock-T's burlesque cheer squad (www.cockts.com). I will also at some point (this summer?) be a part of Cirque Du Singe Bris (www.theshatteredmonkey.com.).I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

i'm not sorry or regretful, rather, joyus and thankful...i love this life! everything is how it is now and will be because in some way or another i have manifested it...fuck yeah~it's not bad at all!...and that goes for you too...I'm also interested in telling my truth to those closest to me~our time here is far too short not to do so. "Anxiety is the result of the perception of the truth of one's condition"~Ernest Becker~

I'd like to meet:

inspiring, open minded and clear thinking humans with integrity...people who are excited to be on this journey... and someone who knows someone who spontaneously combusted. but still give it a try if you don't fit into those catagories...

Music:

I am pretty open to all genres, or try to be at least...as long as it doesn't suck (and thats of course subject to interpretation). I'm really into accordian and interesting, rare, and/or analog instuments. Someday I would like to learn how to play the theramin. lately i have been feasting my ears upon Beirut, DeVotchKa, the Toids, Mark Growden, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, EMT, Kehoe Nation, Sigur Ros, old Motley Crue, lots and lots of Middle Eastern, traditional and otherwise...and right now Duran Duran...don't laugh, you know you dig em too. I have a huge soft spot for butt rock, glam rock and the ballads that were produced by such bands...And...I'm really relating to this quote from Purple Rain lately..."No one gets your music but yourself, kid". Interpret that how you like.

Movies:

so, so many movies...and so little time for me to watch them. I am an avid fan, although I am afraid that if I start listing that I will forget to acknowledge ones I love. Ok, I'll try. American Beauty. Freaks. Idiocracy. Eternal Sunshine (even tho it makes me cry EVERY TIME). Donnie Darko. all things David Lynch and Will Farrell. Crash.

Television:

don't watch much...but I love Carnivale

Books:

Am I a loser for not having much time to read? books that i have read lately include the Alphabet vs the Goddess, Blood Memory, the Illustrated Encyclopedia of How We Die, The Prophet, Life of Pi, The Masked Rider, Wicked, Geek Love, Hobo... i love books, but have no time

Heroes:

people who stand up for and follow through with what they believe in. people who follow their dreams and make their lives glorious...
