Can I have a enchanto match up?

I am from Germany but currently live in the USA. I speak English, German and French. I have a bachelor's degree in life sciences as well as my doctorate in veterinary medicine. I work in a reptile and amphibian health management facility. I love science and animals. I have two pet cats. I’m very hardworking and smart. I pride myself in my work but often have a hard time managing a life and work balance. I like to travel to different countries. My hobbies/interests are volleyball, writing, archery, swimming, sewing, yoga, and gardening. I dislike natural disasters, the dark, coffee/tea, and football. I am pretty quiet when I am focused and don’t try to make friends often unless someone approaches me first. I am really insecure about my acne and laugh.

I think my friends would describe me as kind of a bit all over the place. Like I can be super energetic and then kind of mellow. I try to be there for my friends and I am super polite to anyone. I like to spoil my friends and go out a lot. I like to party quite a bit or hang out with my friends in general. I really like to see new movies. I tend to avoid conflict too.

Isabela

She’s very interested in your German roots

You know French oh boy, she always wanted to learn it, she might ask you to teach her some new words

She doesn’t have much to do around the town so a source of new information really intrigued her

She will play with your cats by making tiny flowers and veins jumping

Wants to hear all about your travel stories and the type of people you meet there

One thing she knows a lot about is plants so she’s the number one person you can go to if you need gardening advice

Isabela has a weird laugh so no worries, she finds it funny when you both laugh and it gets out of control

Knowns a lot about skincare and is ready if you need any help your acne

She doesn’t like conflict either, girl just wants to live her life now and enjoy it

Modern Dance and Street Art Collide in an Abandoned Swimming Pool

From the art-in-strange-places department comes the story of Lake Enchanto—the eccentric, interdisciplinary activation of a once-bustling miniature nature reserve on the Northeastern edge of LA, in the Santa Monica Mountains. The Peter Strauss Ranch was a fancy-rustic getaway in the wooded hills, complete with family attractions, hiking trails, picnic gardens, a lake, stone and earthen amphitheaters, aviaries, and all that other mid-century family adventure stuff that came with cocktails for the parents.

The Ranch languished after Disneyland burst onto the local vacation scene, but it was resurrected as a public park by a progressive civic program nurturing green-space and the arts. It's fitting then, that Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre, known for staging ambitious dance performances in unexpected places, would activate the site. Along with multidisciplinary collaborators, they are staging visual and performance art projects that encourage experiencing the landscape and offer a profound meditation on its history.

Lake Enchanto: Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre at Peter Strauss Ranch

Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre is an LA-based company whose raison d'etre is the occupation of unconventional spaces, staging site-specific, quasi-improvisational performances that frequently also involve visual artists and musicians in ephemeral public activations. They've performed at LAX, libraries, city halls, outdoor plazas, garages, abandoned hospitals, pockets of overlooked urban landscaping, and more.

Painter and muralist Kim West is a friend of Duckler's. Though she's long wanted collaborate with the choreographer, West wasn't comfortable with performing herself. But one day, when Duckler was visiting her studio, a lightbulb went off. Spying a vintage floral bathing suit that belonged to her grandmother—West displays the garment as a source of inspiration for her nature-inspired, ethereal paintings—the artist mentioned she'd love to work in a swimming pool. By happenstance, Duckler had just the one in mind.

The result is Lake Enchanto, a 115-foot composite mural installation built from scores of panel paintings on walls and scaffolding inside a mostly-drained concrete pool, which West executed on site over the course of many weeks. Meanwhile, Duckler's company conceptualized and perfected an hour-long dance performance which took place in direct contact with the artwork.

At dusk, an audience of about 200 was ushered into the basin, into which a trio of dancers descended, all clad in vintage bathing suits. The dancers moved through a steep amphitheater before entering the pool, traversing its entirety with gracefully humorous choreography, assiduously avoiding a brackish puddle at one end. They finished by ritually tearing down many of the in-pool paintings as the sun sank below the horizon. Lake Enchanto was scored live by experimental musician Davy Sumner, who crafted a responsive sampler from sounds captured on site, in a perfect mashup of Art of Noise meets Martin Denny ambient trance.

The Kim West mural is on view through September 9, vulnerable as it is to the machinations of weather and wildlife, as the site will host a handful of other outdoor installations and happenings in June, July, and August. Sculptor Ben Allanoff's Peace Factory fractal log assembly will host an event on June 17 at 10:30AM. Olga Lah's Bloom, adjacent to the pool, is a stepped hillside festooned with hundreds of pink plastic fiberoptic bouquets, which Duckler also incorporated in her choreography. Bloom will host its own happening on August 20 at 4PM. Painter Natalie Smith's trailhead sign will be "activated" on July 9 at 3PM, and also on that date, Alchemist Ballet takes place at 4PM by dancer Chasity Ramsey in the pool housing West's mural. A tip for those planning on attending this summer: plan a picnic, wear flat shoes, and bring bug spray.
