story of paea

Paea is a dancer, sometime teacher, all the time traveler, cook and poet. She is now over thirty. She is now thinking that making work is a good idea. It is time to say what she has to say. 

She has worked with lots of people in lots of places. Dancing, acting, trying to sing, having many a discussion (some heated) late into nights. She quite likes that somehow she has managed to get a good thick amassing of dancing in, in studios, theatres and dance floors all over this hot earth. Her favourite, without doubt, was a hot summer night dancing alone among the masses on a beach on the far flung coast of West Australia to the beat of many African drums. For hours without water. Some kind of magic. Goodness itself. 

She makes dance. Ponders on life, writes everyday to people and to herself and is passionate about music - her only traveling companion - without exception - the good and the bad (songs) are welcome.

She lives in Perth on occasion though is generally hard to pin down for too long. Perhaps it is that the whole world is the map on which she dances. She is currently reading Buddhism and a book on how to change the world or just hold up half the sky.
