POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

FOLE FOREVER

Upon reflecting
On this past
Month of June
I am reminded
About the
Strawberry Full Moon
That just passed

It asked of us
Not
To manifest
Or look forward
But rather
To notice what’s
Already there
What changes
Have already occurred
What dreams have
Already come true

In this reflection
I realized
That my dream was
That the people
Would come to Folegandros
To practice, to hike, to be with the
Land, to lye naked on a rock, to dance, to drink wine, to feel beautiful, to feel connected,
to be in love,

And when I say
To be in Love
I literally mean
To be available
To receive
The energy
The beauty
Of Folegandros

This is my 10th
Year
At creating experiences
For people to connect
To themselves
And others through
The land
@anemihotel

This June there
We’re 4 retreats
With such incredible
Teachers
@jess_islandflow @emilymicheleshapiro @jillfilipovic @dfierce
So many beautiful participants
Friendships were formed

Our hearts,
bodies, and minds
Changed forever

It happened
10 years later
People are coming
And coming back

Not to mention
My closet friends
Who come each year
The ritual of friendship

It takes work
To keep friendships
Going
Especially as we get
Older

I’m so grateful
That we all choose
To meet here
And grow

Thank you
Everyone
For an incredible month
And a decade
Of practice
In Folegandros

Like I always
Say

Fole is the Healer

Who is coming
In September??

2016 was an amazing year for me - DJing, doing makeup and hair on set, teaching at @cmucollege, working with Basia Bulat & I opened my little place on College. The more time passes and as Homer becomes more independent the more I consider reopening a small little HOME again.
I love this 2016 throwback thing because in my mind I’m still the same, but in reality life is soooo different now!
Love these memories and look forward to more happy times ahead!
And yes - that’s me! I was a drag queen/DJ/party girl before I was a largely sweatshirt & sneaker wearing single mom!

IF I SHOULD STUMBLE

This raw feminist dance work digs into women’s resilience as stunt woman Anita Nittoly and dancers crash, crawl, and rise with fierce grit, aching vulnerability, and relentless power.

Last night, my boyband performed at the Cinematek in Brussels in a programme about transformation curated by my dear and brilliant colleague Anouk De Clerq. My 2002 video I AM A BOYBAND, in which I sing all four parts of a pop version of an Elizabethan madrigal, was presented alongside images by Cindy Sherman, the first contemporary artist I ever admired. Sherman’s early Untitled Film Stills touched a very deep place within me when I first saw them in art school, prompting my first professionally-exhibited artworks: a series of self-portraits in her style, created in 1999 with Aleesa Cohene and Nina Arsenault. It was this initial artistic gesture that eventually led to my early performance-based video work, including the boyband, so it was such a thrill and honour to share projection space with Sherman in Anouk’s programme. I could not be in Brussels for the screening, but was glad to hear that my boyband still prompted delight from the audience, even 22 years later. The programme also included work by Manon de Boer, Maria Lassnig, Sebastian Buerkner, Robert Seidel, and Floor Toppets. Full video link in bio! /

Of dancing and wine.

The QSO began as an experiment in 2014 to see if there was space in the world for a project that aimed to offer thoughtful reflections on queer experience, set to a live soundtrack of the songs that had shaped them. Ten years on we have worked with hundreds of collaborators and performed for thousands of people, from Whitehorse YK to St. John’s, NFLD. It’s amazing to reflect today on these experiences and to consider the ripple effects that this little seed of an idea has had over the past decade. Much love to our community, everyone who has touched or been touched by the QSO over this time, it’s been a beautiful experience and we’re truly grateful to you all.

xoxo, QSO
