One of my favourite films- here slightly shortened

this is brilliant.

We watched this in class the other day to inspire embodied enthusiasm. isn't it wonderful!?!?

now for something completely different

I was thinking Toronto might be an interesting place to live but now I am not so sure...

Dancing under the Gallows

magic shadows - very cool

But... I am a rule breaker.

[now this comes with a commercial- sorry 'bout that.]

get out your Kleenex.

Ami told me the other day that he wanted to live in a house with me that was the size of his room...

Chickens

procrastination

MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON from Dean Fleischer-Camp on Vimeo.

my friend Amy sent me this video when I was lightly beating myself up for something.

protest signs 2

It's not really "2" but i managed to figure out one way to embed the video in a post.

protest signs

Now i can't remember how to put videos on these posts... yikes as it been that long since i have done this?!?!?!

I've seen other montages like this but i really like this one.

My favourite are the "LOL" and "I'm with stupid" signs. I also really liked "Jesus had two dads. He turned out fine"

now this is a music video!!

79 is GOLD!!

Gotta love this kind of math!!

singing is the best!

Well wouldn't you know- my worlds are colliding!!

Musical House of Commons

My friend Robyn led me to this clip wondering if the government would be prorogued if question time were a musical!

epi-motion

This is just really catchy and hilarious all at the same time! Plus it is set in San Francisco! I have yet to make it to that beach. Maybe in February or maybe March. . .

running barefoot

I am busy getting ready to go to Canada tomorrow but I have found a moment between laundry, making cookies for Ami's school tomorrow, packing and making dinner to post this.

Here is the article that goes with it, I have been wondering about barefoot running for a while as my old neighbour spent most of his time in barefeet and he also did running barefoot with his wife. The problem with a barefooted neighbour is that it is hard to enforce the idea that shoe wearing for 4 year olds is sometimes mandatory...
My neighbour had Vibram Five Fingers shoes which made him look a bit gorilla-ish and yet cool!

dancing with any body

This article is about a guy named Gregg Mozgala who has cerebral palsy and transformed his movement abilities through working with a choreographer on a dance piece. The method the choreographer used was her own intuition but it sounds remarkably similar to the Anat Baniel Method- paying close attention to your own body, learning new ways to move with out using force etc etc. It is an inspiring story and adds to the growing proof that the adult brain has remarkable capacity to change and grow. Imagine what could be possible for so many people with limitations- either known or unknown! Most interesting.
To add to the 6 degrees (or less) of separation, my friend Martha knows the son of the doctor interviewed in the video clip!

I love this singer

Thanks to my friend Mireille who alerted me to this video I am now Tuva's biggest fan! Her voice is so pristine and honest and it sounds just so darn easy. I want some of that!! Plus can it get any better than Handel?

Feldenkrais at work

This is Moshe Feldenkrais at work on a woman with whiplash. It is remarkable for the work he does with the woman and also for the way he treats her - perhaps it wouldn't be tolerated today!!

the fuzz talk

A fascinating inside view of us. literally.
It certainly convinces me to move my body. How about you?!
