Back in Aye, Zee!
That's right - since tuesday I have been back in Arid-Zonea (which has been surprisingly wet). Since I came back I've been exploring a concept I call distributed living. I don't officially have a place yet, so my things are scattered throughout 3 or 4 locations around town. I kind of like how it's working out, and really enjoy the feeling of not having a home. Makes me feel like I could get up and go anywhere anytime. Even though I get to move into my new place later today I hope to explore this concept of distributed living further...
The last few weeks in Croatia went really well. My favorite time was at the Dance and Non-Verbal Theatre Festival which happens every year in a small town in the middle of nowhere. The night before day 0, I accidentally found out that there will be workshops as a part of the festival, and approximately 10 hours later I was taking my first dance class in Croatia! Taught by Sahar Azimi from Israel, who also did my favorite performance of the festival. It ended with him wearing lipstick, tidy-whities and heels while singing "These boots are made for walking...". Can't beat that.
The festival in general was an amazing experience, being my first opportunity to immerse myself in the Croatian dance scene. And immerse I did, spending all 5 days at the festival and with its people, even crashing in random sleeping bags and tents to avoid driving home. I greatly enjoyed the workshops and performances, loved the people, and had a blast dancing with them until wee hours of the night (or of the morning, which happened the last night and earned me an injury).
I also have to mention that I saw the best dance film ever - "Blush", done by Wim Vandekeybus and his Ultima Vez dance company. Laura Aris, of the company, also did a workshop with some really nice partnering excercises. Can't wait to see these people perform live.
And now in AZ, I am catching up with work and working on an interdisciplinary arts organization (ArtVERGE) which we recently started. The website has temporarily been placed at http://artverge.randomaxis.info/, if you'd like to check it out.

you silly, did you tell me Wim Vandekeybus directed it before? yeah, he is a totally awesome film maker...i have seen a few other of his films that I remember being fantastic! I hope I get to see Blush sometime soon!
shoot, I also just realized I will be missing the first ArtsVerge meeting, poop! You will have to fill me in!

No, I didn't tell you, because the man's last name is not something I can a) readily roll out of memory yet; and b) roll off my tongue yet.
And yes, I realized you will be missing the meeting, and was considering making a facetious remark about how people say that they'll be somewhere and then they make their plans so that they can't be there, and... but then I decided it was not a good time for facetious remarks. ;-)
