The Watch + Ancestral Hum documentation

Here are some images from the show I was in with the talented ladies of The Understory. Images by Heather Zinger & Jubal Nance, costume & props made by Ruth Waddy, and choreography by yours truly. The first piece was called The Watch and was set to a poem by Erica Loloff and music by Eric Abate, the closing piece entitled Ancestral Hum was set to music by Rachels. So fun to be dancing again!

Therapeutic Thursday

As an extrovert, catching up with friends rejuvenates me. To hear what other people are doing with their time gives me perspective and reminds me that life is much more expansive than my problems.

Acupuncture. I hated it the first couple of times and decided to give it another try yesterday at at the relatively new Montavilla Acupuncture. It instantly relieved a tiny little ache in my jaw I was unsuccessfully ignoring and improved my circulation tremendously, so I was warm even while waiting for the bus in the rain. Apparently this is the kind of experience people talk about when they enthusiastically recommend acupuncture, and all I can say is that it totally depends on the practitioner.

A hot bath. Magical.

Puppies. Portland has lots of rescue places and my favorite is the no kill shelter Family Dogs New Life. I sometimes walk a dog, but just looking at the photo shoots on their site makes me giggle.

A bite of cheese. My favorite indulgence lately is Cabot Creamery's Vintage Choice Extra Sharp Cheddar. It doubles as a cure for homesickness...aahh, Vermont. I'll be with you in August...
What is therapeutic for you?

Marvelous Monday

I have been busy working on choreography which culminated in a performance this past Saturday. I promise to post documentation soon, and until then here's some inspiring content collected from the interwebs.

10,000 yogins in Central Park!? Read about the upcoming event and how you can participate.

Speaking of yoga, watch this techno yoga dance video!


Artist Monica Canilao's show at Cinders Gallery in Brooklyn reminds me of Andrew Moore's stunning images of Detroit, and here's Kyp Malone performing inside the installation (video by Tod Seelie.)


I love the lyrical movement in this video by Akino Kondoh (via boingboing).


Last but not least here is martial artist Cynthia Rothrock performing a short sequence in a boxing ring.


Love,

Fawn
