CURRENT MISSION

to be the fool - to tackle silly fears, face forward. bravery and adventure, connection and community.

ABOUT ME

I am an adventurous type - as I imagine many on this site are. I'm almost always up for fun/odd activities. I like to bucket drum. I love to dance. I like to go to places I don't belong and pretend I fit in. I like quiet evenings at home, making art, listening to records... I dumpster dive. I am friendly and genuine.

PHILOSOPHY

omnia mutantur nihil interit - everything changes; nothing is truly lost.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

walked around the inside of a particle accelerator at Cornell, attended space camp, flew over the english channel in a hovercraft, worked for cirque du soleil, set fireworks off the roof of my hostel with fellow hostellers in Tokyo the night after a giant earthquake, performed as a percussionist in Disney World and Times Square, participated in massive intense anti-globalisation protests in the US, visited a forest of redwoods, got completely lost at El Yunque for 5 hours

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I've taught dance and music classes at a freeskool as well as for work (mostly drumming). i have some video and computer skillz.

right now i'm most into learning about herbal medicine/the forest, ways to mess with people/performance art, piano and banjo.
