NECCA Calendar

It won't surprise anyone to learn that I go to school with a group of unusually talented and motivated people. After all, these are folks who spend hours every day conditioning their minds, bodies and souls for the purpose of creating performance art to amaze and delight people of all ages! One of these great performers is Vanessa Vortex, comedian, juggler and strong woman extraordinaire. Between bouts of hoisting people in the air and standing on her hands, Vanessa came up with the idea of creating a calendar to document our year  at NECCA. Included are numerous pics of my multi-talented classmates, coaches and associates. You can check it out online and even order a copy of the calendar for yourself if you feel so inclined. Enjoy!

Bohemian Bacchanalia at Oberon

Last weekend, in the company of the lovely Morgan Oldman, and many other fabulous Boston based circus performers, I took part in the lively, luscious, and at times ludicrous Bohemian Bacchanalia at Club Oberon. A couple weeks earlier, at home in Colorado for Christmas break, I was excited to receive a phone call from Morgan inviting me to perform with her again in Boston. Back at school in Bratt we worked out a souped up version of the duo lyra piece we'd done at Royale a month earlier. Accompanied by a fantastically seductive, emo tune from movie Twilight, and fantastic costumes (all thanks for Morgan) we took it up a notch from our previous performance. Nima came with me to Boston and took video of the event in general and our piece in particular. If he keeps it up I'll need to make him my official videographer.

I absolutely loved the rest of the show as well, and performing with and for the Boston Circus Guild again was fantastic! The Guild is comprised of an delightfully motivated, talented, friendly and fun group of people. Here is a link to a video a video showcasing highlights from the evening. Fair warning, there are some gorgeous ladies performing mouth watering burlesque acts, so if semi-nudity is going to offend you might want to shy away from this one :)

There were some great photos taken that night as well by professional ToddLee. You can find them among my photos on my Facebook page.
