Nina
Be has been
moving ... for a very long time.
Her journey began as lead sibling, to snowflake at 5 yrs old, then to gigs with
Joffrey, assistant to Lee Theodore at the AmericanDanceMachine, producing
off-off Broadway, and directing multi-media installations in Japan
and the States. Her fascination with the effects of focused meditation,
and passion for being alive and well, have fueled her envisioned companies:
Ninabe&Co, and now TBCP. Housed in Raleigh,
NC,
The Body Center Project lives in the shared yoga studio/gallery The Body Center
. Here, Nina Be offers compassion-based yoga therapy and body centering yoga
classes and workshops. For more information, visit her website: www.bodycenteringyoga.com.
TBCP ensemble is a performance lab where creators of
video, paintings, pottery, prose and music mingle to explore infinite
possibility. Nina plans to live to 120, in order to see her 2 fabulous
daughters clean their rooms.

In his own mind Joe Giddings is a rock star of anything and
everything. Externally, Joe studied sculpture and printmaking at Tulane University and is currently working
towards a Masters of Architecture at North Carolina
State
University.
Joe really likes rocks and fire and trees and water and rusty metal and food
and music and sex and the moon and gardening and fantasy books and sometimes
buildings and sculptures.
Gabrielle
Laurent Prohn was
born yesterday. She remembers playing in the mud last week and liking
it. She is a creator of homespun remedies, warm mittens, salads, and
skirts. Her last performance was as the Queen in Alice in Wonderland
when she was 7. She seamed many a petticoat and garter for burlesque theater in
New
Orleans
at 21. Since then she’s been traveling back and forth across many thresholds,
but has been known to stop for mountains, a swim, a chat or yoga.
Bart used to really like ketchup. He
was the original choice for the part of Wilson
in Cast Away. He moves when he's not still. He knows he's not perfect. He's
just too humble to admit it. He looks at trees sometimes. He thinks instant
Karma is too slow. He remembers when he used to remember things.
He thinks that pro-lifers who are not vegetarians don't get it.
Dominique, a former architect, now passionate yogi and yoga instructor,
