While living in Portland, Oregon, I was exposed to Butoh at the Headwaters Theater, and became hooked.  I traveled the world learning from many masters and participating in community learning experiences.  All told, and many photographs and passport stamps later, I think my favorite teacher was Meshi Chavez, teaching weekly at home in Portland.  We talked about both the Tao and Quantum Physics, and it led to my later developing, in Serbia, what I call Quantum Corpus, based on a performance there.  It emphasizes developing the many sensory bodies and increasing proprioception within and outside of oneself, so that one can best receive the dance and best translate it to the physical world, through Ma.  Personal performances are often angsty, include ancient/non-ancient props, and include spoken word poetry.  ​

As a dancer, I love a good floor, like luuuuuuvvvv!!!!!!  It's enough to revive a heartbroken dancer's soul.....to find just the right floor, all by yourself to play on, omg.  Well, I found one, it's at the El Morro Old School House Gallery, it's so old and creviced, it is harboring history in each and every strip.  I took on cleaning responsibilities, but I feel hesitant to vacuum. You have no idea where that dirt has been.  What magic to be felt !!!  Looking forward to the amazing art it shall inspire.  I am gonna play around a while and then offer a 6 week series to seed butoh here in this beautiful place.  I invite you to roll around with me as soon as I get my fill....lol...see you soon... May 8th? later this summer?
