Introduction

Hello,
I'm Marie.
I saw this comm in the spotlight, and it harkens so much to what I've been ranting about to my other artist friends of mine that I thought I ought to join and learn something from people who have put much more thought and work and experimentation into it than I thought possible. It sounds so fascinating and inspiring and amazing. Plus I didn't even realize I'd already been participating by playing in One-Card-Tarot-Draws!

I'm a visual artist, and dancer, and sort-of-writer.
As far as art - of geez - there are paintings, and line art, and digital art, and collage art, and art journaling - and the point where all of those things intersect.
And then there's bellydance (in my other LJ: miischelle ). I perform mostly, and also teach occasionally.
And the writing is just sort of experimental at the moment.

But what a wondeful idea! I'm sure I'll be lurking for awhile, and asking questions from time to time, looking for ideas and inspiration.
It's so nice to meet you all.

I'm toying with the idea of a Dance Challenge...like letting a certain number of people select songs for me to dance to - maybe just eh first minute - and then which ever piece gets the most likes over a certain period of time - do a full out piece to the whole song....maybe?

Oh, that's a good idea!

I've seen dance challenges. Back in college, I went to some SCA events and a lot of what I know about bellydance I learned from Thais. She used to do challenges, and she could bellydance to anything and make it work. One of my great regrets is that I didn't discover Cecil Taylor jazz until after our paths stopped crossing. That would've been epic.

Okay, if you try this, please tell me so I can link to it. I would totally watch.
