Music, Movies, and Books

I don't watch a lot of movies but probably one of the best movies for me was Six String Samurai. It has everything a good movie should have.
Some other movies that would be exemplary of my tastes would be Arizona Dream and Tuvalu.

music: Tom Waits, 16 horsepower/Woven hand, Pj Harvey, Shannon Wright, Nick Cave, Auktyon, Kill The Vultures, Buck 65, Blacroc, RZA. this is kind of a random list.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My womans eyes on a lazy sunny morning are one of the most amazing things I've seen...

being in Bologna Busker Pirata - a festival in Italy for street performance and circus last year was amazing and inspiring.
Also creating and participating in a small contemporary circus performance with my friends this autumn/winter was a really great thing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some contact staff, poi and a bit of double staff spinning. also some basic three ball juggling. and some very very basic three club juggling (like i could teach you how to start if you haven't yet).
I'd like to learn about those things too,maybe we can exchange skills. Also I'm interested in learning more about modern dance, contac improvisation and things like that. And if we share musical tastes i would really like sharing knowledge about good stuff to listen to,since i have too many albums on repeat right now:].
A very long-term goal is to get a bit better at cooking. so if you're into cooking vegetarian/vegan food maybe we can try to make something together:]
