How did you learn about dance-tech.net?

A friend introduced me to a friend who I googled and came up with a mention of Marlon's name and this site

Enviornments and applications that you use the most for your projects

Final Cut ( or any other video editing), camera work, Protools (other sound editing software), web based platforms

Which other:

web-based platforms = php, sql, etc. that's it, but this list is giving me ideas!

How do you train yourself or your performers. How do you approach your embodied practices? what kind of technique do you use?

There aren't a lot of studios that i can train at here. I go to the gym these days and apply principles of Pilates, Feldenkrais, yoga, Cunningham, and Franklin technique to weight-training. I usually look like a dork, but I don't care.

I think survival is the ultimate performance. I am training to survive the future.

Any additional information about your self or your organization:

My parents were poets and political dissidents in the 70s in the Philippines, and I was conceived in prison under martial law during a conjugal visit. That's probably the most fascinating thing I can tell you about myself.
