About Me

CURRENT MISSION

act and react

ABOUT ME

Dynamic, energic, spontaneous, curious, enjoying life and people. I like to talk and share ideas about every topics. I wish I will stay alive, open-minded and awoken all my life. I want to open my consciousness of events and people; I want to stay free in my mind, I want to keep my sense of criticism.
I like art and culture, I like to go out, to have parties, to dance, to laugh. I like to meet all kind of people, men or women, coming from all cultures, old or young
I like to travel too : travelling is very nurrishing. I love discovering landscapes, images, materials, sounds, colors,and obviously people and thoughs that are different from what I already know.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to believe that another world is possible because people from all countries and cultures have decided to create it. I don't want to get asleep by hearing the actual governments speeches. I want to continue to open my mind more and more, to travel inside and outside. I believe that culture is the most efficient weapon against fear of the others and differences that all governments and their economical partners want us to have. I believe in fighting against ignorance and fear, opening minds, sharing ideas, being intercultural, going above prejudices, in the power of imagination,invention, dream. I believe that we are responsible of what we want, what we accept, what we reject ; we are responsible for our own choices.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a couch and talk to people to advertise them about the couch surfing project.
And just one thing : if I don't answer to your request or if I answer too late, it's because I have sometimes many many demands. Sorry for that...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

turkey, bulgaria, tunisia, france, romania

Interests

Art, culture and politics :I am an actress and theatre is a very important part of my life. I was educated in physical theatre technics (clown, acrobatic, butoh dance)and I am crazy about all kinds of popular theatre because masks, puppets or street theatre are universal and are shared all over the world, by all civilizations.
I am also teaching to young or old people, in all sorts of neighborhood, and try to create with people a real and rich space of exchange. I believe that imagination and historical/political consciousness have to mix to make people feel better and reinvent themselves.

Music, Movies, and Books

film : Jarmusch, Fellini, Schlöndorff, Chaplin, Kaurismaki...mais je fonctionne surtout par films plutôt que réalisateurs. La liste serait donc trop longue...
musique : je peux aimer (presque) tous les genres mais pas tout dans tout. J'écoute beaucoup de rock, de musique du monde, de rap engagé ou slam,et plein d'autres choses selon les humeurs et les moments.
Lecture : de tout, boulémie de livres, de littérature de tous horizons, de critiques d'art et d'histoire.
