Do you want this account to represent:: individual human (me), organization of humans (us) many of you

If you are representing an organization, what kind of organization? you may check more than one answer.: Company, Education, Media

About Me (human/individual)/interests, work..short bio/ THis is the most important. It is the only way to know that you are not a SPAMBOT!Be generous!: I'm a shaker of salt on the table. I perform conjurations through one-woman shows. As a black woman, I pull from my heritage in the Deep South of the US to populate worlds with profound jewels that only come from rejoicing under great pressure. Storytelling, Spelling, Dancing and Drumming sustain my "dancememory" pieces as I trace circular routes of social re/discovery and de/cipepherments. I have presented performance work at Pittsburgh Art Institute, UC San Diego, UC Berkeley, MIT, Williams and Brown University as part of the RISD/Brown Performance Art Series. Lately, I've been caught in the act in Los Angeles at the Anatomy Riot and Highways Performance Space. Determined to heal the social dis-ease which strikes us down daily, I inhabit the digital world at http://www.negressdeterminata.com. Come dance in the eye of the storm: the view is fantastic.
