PHILOSOPHY

I'm absorbed by dance-making and nomadicism right now. I want to learn to live in flux and I want to do it with integrity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've got connections for places to stay in Seattle and Salt Lake City for any who might need a couch. I can help you find a place to crash.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None through the web as of yet though I've crashed on plenty of friends' couches over the years.

Interests

• festivals
• dancing
• yoga

Music, Movies, and Books

Love them all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Created a dance company that seems to work.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got a lot of knowledge about dance and art and I study yoga. I can talk for hours about contemporary American dance if any body would let me.

I want to learn about contemporary migratory lifestyles, and displacement of modern artists, so I'm looking to connect with anyone who has experience with that.
