Contests and Body Alive Maui!

The only way to continue one's education outside of school is to become one's own teacher.  After the world body painting festival I have been entering online face and body art contests in order to better myself as an artist.  My newest work can be seen at www.racheldeboer.com.  Also I have been organizing a new body painted theater and dance show called Body Alive Maui for an interactive arts festival named Source here in Maui.  Source will go off in Feburary of 2009 and its theme is: The Great Expression.

  You can follow this link to another blog I have (funny, blog leading to blog) all about Source and the dream of mine of combining theater and body art together.  Check out these links:    Source 2009   and    http://innerspatial.wordpress.com/

Body Alive Maui is based on Art Color Ballet, a revolutionary dance troupe in Poland that utilizes body art to help tell its story and transmit its theme and mood to the audience.  The body art determines the dance. It becomes the costume and the character of the dancer, his or her look and his or her emotion is immediately transparent.

If only all humans wore their intentions on their skin so readily.
