About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I am traveling with more of a direction now, seeking out the dancemaking, art making webs in different places. Noticing the overlap. What do we have in common, what can we learn?

ABOUT ME
I live in Montreal, that's where my main hub of dancing, making puppets, teaching and friend-family lives.

Inconvenience has always catalyzed beauty; I welcome mishap to shape memories, and all the space time in between is sweetened by wandering.

PHILOSOPHY

My friend's friend, B, said:
Fear is but misplaced excitement.
I like that thought a lot lately.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I first started traveling after high school couchsurfing was the biggest gem; so many of my most exquisite adventures are in thanks to this crazy community. 
I like to know this exists, and to take part when I can.
I love meeting people who want to show me around their parts of the world, their secret spots. I love already having a friend when I arrive in an unknown place, who might have a floor I can dream on.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books. Lately I've been having trouble reading fiction...
I like to read things that i can't fully grasp, like books on astronomy and physics.
I like philosophy Bataille, Derrida, Beaudrillard, Foucault, Berlant... I wish I had the names of more ladies in there. I love Chris Kraus and semiotexte.

I love the radio.
Mississippi work songs, Louisiana blues. The banjo.
Erased Tapes, Constellation Records.
Michael Hurley, Molly Drake, John Frusciante, Dawn of Midi...
Music like food, I like good stuff, different things on different days.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the full moon rise above the Bekaa valley. With a group of strangers at midnight, we revered her together, hot cocoa and sesame biscuits in hand.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think that maybe I have little bits of everything, and you can be certain that I'll share whatever they are.

Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey
