Bio
(aka Josephine Elizabeth Ortez, Josie Ortez) I am 61 years young, a performance artist, writer and painter (oils) I live with my Dalmatian doggie 3 cats and 2 goldfish. I am happy despite my best efforts to the contrary. I am of Native American, Mexican, German, Irish English ethnicity. A DAKINI is a semi wrathful spirit woman from the Tibetan Buddhism tradition who manifests in dreams, visions and during meditation. She is the Goddess of Life's turning points, serving as instigator, inspirer, messenger and even trickster. She transmutes suffering into enlightened awareness. She is often depicted as a young naked figure in dancing pose often holding a skull cup of the Elixir of Life in one hand and a curved knife in the other. She may wear a garland of human skulls, her hair is wild and hangs down her back. She dances on top of a corpse, representing her mastery over ego and ignorance. MAY ALL BEINGS BE HAPPY!

A REALLY GOOD SHOW!!!

Rate: 18 Flag

I was privileged to perform in this show on February 7. It was staged by Worlddancefitness, San Anselmo, CA  in honor of their 5th Anniversary. There were 18 acts in all, so not all performers are shown. All performers are associated with the studio. Here we go:Hoop Light

That's a glowey hula hoop

Me!!! I hope to be posting a video  very soon. I'm singing "A Thousand Stars"

Children

These two, and their cohorts (one of which below) amped up the tension in the small backstage until they were corralled into the  back room

I thought this woman was going to do a Gothic type  Bellydance, Instead she did a wacky dance to an equally wacky, whimsical Dance of the Flowers from the Nutcracker.

Funny Nutcracker

This guy  was amazing, as the pictures show. The last photo does look a tad erotic, but I assure you his performance wasn't, there were children present after allStanding Man

That pole was indeed fun, I only had a brief lesson with it.
