About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The world is my oyster.I want to explore every corner, nook and cranny and meet every type of people.
May all beings be happy.

ABOUT ME

Time is Art...I love to eat, drink and meet with friends and family. I practise juggling and/or yoga weekly. I am an avid meditator. I am interested primarily in performing arts and festival culture. I sustain myself by following the seasons. Anything from planting to picking. I watch films and listen to even more music and I love the outdoors.
Generally speaking I follow my path and let what ever happens take its course. I intend on having a good time provided it can be combined with hard labour and positive results.
Life is theatre.

PHILOSOPHY

MEDITATE
Work hard and enjoy what you do. Make space to have the experiences you desire. Ensure regret doesn't creep up on you when you are an elder and you haven't had any of the experiences you longed for.
Be creative. The more creative you push yourself to be the more creative you will want to be.
Be aware of your boundaries.
Make strong connections with people.
Each one teach one.
Finally love your Mother Earth it is your home!

Interests

Performance in any shape or form. Any circus stuff. I perform with fire by playing, Diabolo, Devilstix, double Staff, and Poi. I perform at outdoor parties and festivals.
My love is to devise theatre and performance based workshops. Of which I want to gain more experience.
I love cycling around and out of town. I play Capoeira at a beginners level but I am always learning. I especially like new and exciting adventures what ever they may be, especially travelling, hiking and snow sports both skiing or snowboarding .
