MUSEE DES FEMMES

Here it is folks...our last show. come out and support!

Aug 12 at THE ZIPPER FACTORY
8 PM
$20

The Desert Sin Dance Company presents the New York premiere of their acclaimed production of Musée des Femmes - Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque (Museum of Women). An erotic and edgy fusion of dance and theater, Musée des Femmes is a sideshow-stylized psychological spectacle that retells the tales of some of the boldest and most intriguing women throughout time – both fictional and historical. The story line lends and emotional and human twist on fantastic characters such as legendary film starlet Mata Hari, the Hindu Goddess Kali, and Joan of Arc.

Ok....so it's taken me a while to finally work on my tribe site...i've beeen a little busy!.....this is my eye BTW.

So what about me????
LEt's see, jane of all trades, mistress of none? Well not sure i'd go that far but i think i've been hearing too much lately, "What don't you do?" Well i dont' play basketball or baseball and i don't knit...i have to say i actually find pleasure in finding things i don't like to do because it's rare!
I'm a dancer, photographer, filmmaker, singer, percussionist, teacher, activist, renegade, thinking about becoming a mother???(did i say that?--missy mothernature is catching up)....own my own business and barely skim by. Happy? yes. Tired? sometimes. Bored? Rarely.
