This is where I collect things. Maybe you'd also be interested in reading a few things that I've written, or viewing some of my photos, or even some of my videos. If you're feeling especially voyeuristic, you might even want to look through my links, listening habits, and social connections.

From the intricate gesturing of a Nina Simone song in sign language, through suited men falling from scaffolding structures, to exhausted dancers rubbing their faces in piles of freshly chopped onions, Nelken is a two-hour rollercoaster ride of profound dance madness.
— A 2005 review of Pina Bausch’s Nelken. I could definately go for some “profound dance madness”…

Pina Bausch’s Rite of Spring. (via fuckyeahdance)
Bausch, a German choreographer, passed away on Tuesday — only days after being diagnosed with cancer. You can read more about her in the Guardian obit:
Perhaps the archetypal Bausch piece is Nelken, created the year after her son’s birth. The stage is covered with pink carnations, through which a near-naked woman wanders, playing an accordion. It is one of the most beautiful images in the dance canon, and if there are security guards with snarling alsatians patrolling the back of the stage, Bausch never promised that everything in the garden was lovely.

Yesterday evening, some fine Twin Cities folks inaugurated what promises to be a fine, fine Art space. Though I could not join them in the flesh for their first event, I joined them in Spirit. Congratulations, West Bank Social Center.
Ha, this is great. Thanks Michael!

This is my bus stop, the Matchbox cafe. My weekend included an incredibly successful opening night at the WBSC and a beautiful Sunday at the beach. Things could definately be worse.
