Eviction of the Impotent Homophobic Coward. 
Choreographer & Performer: Cuauhtemoc Mitote 
Music: This Is The Law Of The Plague by Diamanda Galás


Inscription: This war dance is dedicated to those who are battling the stigma and cultural oppression of their HIV/AIDS, to those who are too afraid to get tested, and to those who continue to survive and thrive with disease in or around their lives--despite all the challenges laid forth by deceitful men. This war dance was made to vanquish fear.  

I am a dancer


A dancer is, has:

great focus, skill, commitment, clarity, unadornment, intellectualism, athleticism, & eloquence.

#oka

butterflies embrace 
the winds of freedom in my 
soul ablaze in heat

--The Glitter Shaman 

#delicious

“Delicious was it? The touch of glitter, that was his skin? Forbidden was it, in a cave of darkness that was made of hall and rooms. You took him didn’t you, to taste the favors of all that magic which you never though to consider before now. This is the stuff of dreams and reality, in the horizon of being. No longer are you the mundane human your mother knew, but the enlightened being of experience, without death, for thee is out of time.”


--The Glitter Shaman 

#beauty

“Some people’s beauty comes from lights, cameras, and rendering. Other’s come from glitter.”


--The Glitter Shaman 

#art

"In the future, the artist will point at himself, and become art"



---The Glitter Shaman

praxis

A spiritual practice is our way of cultivating and liberating love in our lives. It is our way of making glitter, blessing glitter, and spreading glitter.



--The Glitter Shaman 

Sex & Love

Of course you can divide sex from love. You can have great, passionate, hot, sweaty, sex with a stranger, never knowing their name. This is nothing new...
But can you, yes, can you go further?
Divide sex from Lust?
Divide sex from sexiness? 

Can you enjoy sex for all it is. In the privacy of your safe space?

Then, go on to enjoy lust, detached from sex, just the emotion and sensuality of lust, in its singular existence?

What about sexiness? Can you be sexy? And enjoy sexiness of others without the need for sex? Without the desire to complete the sexual act with another, enjoying the emotional logic of sexual alluring sensation in its abstract form?

Here we begin a deep discipline, a deep spiritual practice.

Because, we can hold love elsewhere, we can hold love in its purity.

Love's detachment from desire, lust, sexiness, allure, and sexuality, and leave it to its purity of: affections, respect, care, communications, recognition, & trust.
