ABOUT ME

I'm a young theatre artist moving to Paris to go to a school of physical performance. I love the arts, language, cycling, crosswords, racquetball, soccer, badminton, juggling, urban exploring, exploring in general, teaching young-ones, making experiences rather then paying for them.

My temperament tended towards initial shyness, but after a year of working as a server in a circus-dinner-theatre I am much more friendly.

My life goals revolve around creating a performance collective that focuses on new, young, and immediate work. I am slowly building this international collective and perhaps you'd like to contribute: anything from writing to performance to critiques to design — any expression that promotes community, trust, love, integrity, beauty.

I am conversational in French and want to learn Russian, Spanish, and really any language.

Favorite color: Green (I'm green friendly!)
Power animal: Elephant

Likes: expression
Dislikes: putting myself in a text box

I'll do (almost) anything once.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, love, respect, laugh, create.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing is an exchange grounded in respect: the host provides a space and I believe it is up to the surfer to actively contribute to the host's experience (conversation, time, wine, etc.) Let's have fun!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm pretty new! I've not surfed yet but I have hosted 3 times via my previous housemate and had a great time.

Favorite memory has to be eating a meal with two surfers and rather than clinking glasses, we clinked our plates of hot food and said cheers. I still do this whenever I'm eating amongst good friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am somewhat knowledgeable about theatre history and literature, theatrical practices in lighting and scenic design and most things theatre. I have been a competitive cyclist and would be happy to help you improve. I've been a master carpenter and electrician in theatres and like to build stuff. I also love language exchange.
