  • (4:16) On Butoh-based Dance: A Saturday morning amble…

    Butoh, strange and surreal as it is, is about intimacy.

    Ok, so. Posted my first iMac video on Butoh-based dance with a poem in my white flannel nightgown this morning on YouTube.

    Even
    before coffee. I leave as is. Though I did add the poem later this
    evening and you might have to increase the volume since, though I
    re-recorded a number of times much closer to the computer’s built-in
    microphone than the original clip, I wasn’t able to arrive at the same
    volume levels.

    Strange and surreal as it often is, Butoh is about intimacy.

  • Me as an Audience Extra

    The last year has been one of the most difficult years of my life.
    While I cannot share much of what has happened, the good news is that I
    am still going. Sometimes I’m not sure how.

    At the end of May my
    last contract position ended and since then I have been officially
    unemployed, a disempowering experience to say the least.

    Anyhow, for a new experience last Friday I was an ‘audience extra’ at Market Call Tonight on BNN.
    Here’s a clip of me asking a question, something I make myself do
    whenever I attend a seminar. Okay, I don’t know a lot about the stock
    market, but I realized that I know more than I thought I did.

    By
    all means watch the whole show, Ross Healy’s viewpoints are
    interesting. If you want to see yours truly, a little nervous (could
    have done with some of those beta blockers, laughs) go to 7:25 on this clip (after the ads) for about 2 minutes to hear his full answer.
