When the leaves fall like rain,
and cover the earth in gold
And the breeze becomes cooler,
to welcome the coming cold
When dreams become more than a dream,
and life is not what it seems.
And I hear thunder in the silence of those golden leaves.



When I awaken in the morning,
blanketed by the night.
I share this world of turnings,
with the gods of my might.
And taste the truth of being,
born of spiritual seed.
And the word of the great goddess I heed.



For it is she that can set me free

Show Friday night

Performed my new show on friday night to an appreciative crowd at the Brickhouse Restaurant on Bricklane in London.

The venue really is perfect for aerial shows!

The show is themed on Arabian nights, and I`m like a Persian Prince who climbs the silk. The music is kind of hypnotic and really sets the scene.

In Rehearsal

While Ive got my finger in various pies... I thought I would post a couple of quick rehearsal things. Im working on a martial arts theatre production, also a couple of upcoming shows at Heaven London, and possibly the Brickhouse again soon. I have an audition this weekend as well, so have been training a bit....also some other possibilities.

Heres a trick...

The restaurant is set over 3 levels which is perfect for aerial shows.

I performed on aerial silk using the whole 8 or so meters, in a relaxed atmosphere set by the mood of the DJ, which was really well received by the crowd. The lighting was great and I will be back in the near future to do more.

Amazing Ari performs at Circus - London

Here is some footage from last nights aerial ring show at Soho Revue Bars regular friday night event - Circus. It was also filmed by channel 4 in London which would be cool to see. This is from my little camera though.

I must say that doing this show was loads of fun and I love the track I performed to and have wanted to do it for a while. The crowd were really responsive and I had loads of great feedback.

Was another fun night there and successful show!

My arms are completely burned from the elbow rolls on the taped ring, but it was worth it!

Will post some pics when i get them.

Insight



'Three things from which never to be moved: one's Oaths, one's Gods, and the Truth.
The three highest causes of the true human are: Truth, Honor, and Duty.Three candles that illuminate every darkness: Truth, Nature, and Knowledge.
- Traditional Celtic Triads'



ANCESTRY (LIFE, THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING)- Ly de Angeles





If you take such theories as the big bang into account (and it's as viable theory as anything else if you feel the necessity to consider anything as having a beginning) then 'we' must, logically, have been there, in the ancestral sense, as nothing comes from nothing (duh!), even if it is (in difference to was - I'm sure you'll work with me here!) merely as the possibility of energy as we consider energy to be. The same applies if you throw away the entire illusion of a beginning and consider the concept of a continuum and consider that possibly we don't know everything [consciously].




We're the off-spring of that immortality. We may be sun and moon and sea and stone and person and rat and mountain lion and retro-virus and all but we're still bloody-well related! And everything is unique but relative to everything else ("divided for love's sake on the chance of union").



Our ancestors (even into the far-flung memory of a trillion billion light years from now, into both 'past' and 'future') are the gods. They're not myth and legend and religion but they can be represented within them, just as simply as one or other might have passed you on the street today.




If that sounds irreverent to anyone reading this then you'd be mistaken. In the truest sense of the word - it is awesome!

Circus - Soho Revue Bar London



Thought I would post a pic up from my show a couple of weeks ago at circus. Was a great night and I must say, Circus is one of my favourite places in London. The music is hot and diverse, pretty much like the crowd. People make a bit of an effort to dress up and be creative which always helps an atmosphere.




Am performing there again on 2nd Nov.
