Geek Dance Fun

Not all art has to be serious.

To appreciate art, you don't have to have overly long hair, act pretentious, or know how to open up a glass of red wine. As a performance artist for ten years as a dancer, and over twenty years in music, art is an experience of the moment, and emotional rush, and a connection you make with your audience.




In the past two years, I've been experimenting more and more with dance as comedy, knowing that a moment of laughter that we share becomes a moving image burned into your neural network. Some people might find my dancing a mockery of the art of bellydance, hip hop, and Bollywood, but I'll remind you that some of the most respected dancers in all three genres weave well-timed, whimsical aspects of dance into their routines.

Do you think you can dance? Do you like making people laugh? Try combining the two! You get to dance, and you don't have to pass gas loudly and light your farts on fire to make people laugh with you.

Gnomedex Recap from the n00b (coming soon!)

As a person behind the scenes and volunteering at Gnomedex 2010 this year, I could not vlog or do interviews. My priority was to provide support to all the speakers for Gnomedex, so I'll be bringing you a very special blogpost after Gnomedex and Seattle Geek Week wraps up.

I hope you've been following my tweets on HipsforHire on Twitter, and seeing why a performance artist and healthcare advocate might be so interested in technology and its ability to change the world.
