You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people... once you are Real

About Me

..====================================================== "I dance for no reason. For reason you can't dance. Caught in the inactiveness of intellectualized circumstance. You can't learn my steps until you unlearn your thoughts. Spirit/soul can't be store bought. Fuck thought. It leads to naught. Simply stated, it leads to you trying to figure me out." - saul williams -=======================================================I view life through the eyes of the dance. I have a need to know how nouns function! I have to move to be happy... the insatiable need to create, learn, and ponder consumes me most of the time... I hope to experience enough life to reflect the beauty and the gore of wisdom.

My Interests

I adore great conversations over better bottles of wine. I love to travel; I am determined to see the world - even if it must be through the eyes of others at present! Dance, Art, Science, History, Music, Film, Individuals, books, gadgets, pop culture.==================================================== =======www.contradictiondance.comCONTRADICTION DANCE: An Exchange Between Life & DanceContradiction Dance is a place where theater meets dance meets pop-culture. The company's vision is to make dances that report on, reflect, and question the world in which we live. Nurtured on the belief that artists and audience members communicate in a dialogue through a chosen medium, Contradiction Dance fosters discussion, reflection, and change through live performance and dance education.

I'd like to meet:

You, I suppose... I mean, you're the one taking the time to read this! ======================================================= For those of you who wonder why people like myself commit themselves to seemingly frivolous tasks like the the arts, consider your own need to view yourself in a mirror daily, and apply that need to the world in which you live. That's the role of arts in our lives... check it out. Go see something live, experience something new... go support your performing artists. And better yet, take a friend. Reflect on what you saw/heard/experienced. Now go dancing, take a class, learn to paint, star in the play of your life! For more info on the company visit: www.contradictiondance.com
