About Me: Queer dance artist & Radical Faerie in growing ...

I saw the Afro Punk documentary on YouTube and feel very positive and interested. Find it very inspiring for my own work as a choreographer / dancer / dance artist & human being who is working and living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Thank you for having me here a a guest ~
As a guest I will generally refrain from jumping all over the place or posting wildly and certainly from liking other people's post wildly - having three posts on my page may seem like the opposite but primarily my goal is to observe first and react, rather than act.

I'm very new to this scene and you may fully judge me as too soft, too mainstream, still too wrapped in white-privilege, not out enough or radical, not conscious enough (yet) - but that is why I am here - to learn.

Friendship requests are taken very happily
Anything I can return, gladly done ~

Best wishes,

You can be my friend if...: you invite me and we click -
and then create meaningful contact with each other, over time ...

via Facebook again ... (Chinisha Scott, thanks Kanene Ayo Holder, check out her project Searching for American Justice!)

it may go too far for some people, but this is basically why I like to encourage cis-female dancers that I work with to consider not shaving their legs or armpits for a performance, and any of my lovers to use shower-detergents and deodorants very sparingly, if at all (because I want to smell THEM not the…
