Before it is again taking too long for me to explain..here you go.
It is my final year at the KaosPilots in denmark. June 2007, yesyes, and I already got something very amazing coming up, so, no worries on the workplace. Not for much profit, but much spirit, I can promise you.
I had planned some very long time back to go to Zimbabwe for my world internship period this autumn. But my mother fell very sick, and so there the only way to go was not to. (http://www.kufunda.org)
Having met amazing people in June/Borl/Slovenia, I contacted Werner, working with Caritas/Austria, as we were talking back then about 'Rhythm is it' [http://www.rhythmisit.com] in one way or the other in Vienna. And, yes! He was really working on making this amazing dream happening, and I thought, how amazing, I can join in for my internship, vienna, my second home, and the project an amazing opportunity.
During a conversation in Vienna, it turned out, that it might be more helpful for the project, if I could join in when it started, that being february 2007.
Wuwuwuwuwuw, no internship.
How could my having these two months be of use for the initiative of integrating underserved schoolchildren through dance?
Lululululu, I looked for those that were doing amazing things within the field, and many of them were on the east coast/U.S. So I called some very different organisations, with the same goal, to create value through dance, so I got in, so I am here. New York it is. Alvin Ailey, the number one on the list, those that I did not dare calling until the last moment, my inspiration.
I had no idea, what would be expecting me, I had not been dancing/class in ages, I had no appartement fixed when the plane landed, and I was having heartvibrations (herzflimmern, you know) all through my body.
The present story now without further drama: I am working and learning from Nasha Thomas-Schmitt, Director for Arts in Education and Community Development.
I am amazed to be here. I am at awe when seeing the dancers every day around the office, I am grateful.
And I have the privilege to choose life, and feel I truly am.
