Yeah, yeah, okay make all the jokes you want. You can even reference my previous post about Pro Wrestling for more material. But the fact remains, I don't just use my body for whuppin on Allen Wong and sittin around. Martial arts and dance overlap quite a bit as you may guess. Both involve balance, felxibility, coordination, and the awareness of tension and relaxation. And hot girls.
Jackie Chan got his start as a dancer, didja know that smart guy? So did Chuck Norris. And Mr T.
Anyway, I felt that it was time to get this all in the open because I wanted to get this out in the open because I wanted to show you all a piece I choreographed for a Japanese TV show. It's a math show for the 12-15 year old range, called Uesugi Go Ryobi, which, I guess translates to something like "The Scholarship of Our Fathers; So Much Fun!"
Anyway, here's a link to it. I'm the second ninja from the back.

A lot of people wonder what it takes to "run" a "theater company." That's usually the first thing people ask me after they've asked how we came up with the name No Refunds (we stole it). Well, to those people who really want to know what it's like, I say: "Shut up with your dumb mouth for a second and listen to this great idea I've got!"
Like most people, I think a lot about robots. About when I'll finally get one, what they taste like, what they might think of me as a person. you know, normal stuff.
I also have an on-again, off-again relationship with professional wrestling. Yes. I have a degree in Anthropology from a liberal arts university. I own several operas on CD. I work in theater. And I like professional wrestling. My favorite dudes have got to be the Dudley Boys - DeVon and Buh Buh Ray. I'm fascinated by the complicity (complicity, not complexity - college degree, here) of the whole thing, the grand scale big money, low-class theatricality of it. Plus they have wicked pyro and guys get put through tables like all the time.
Anyway, I had this great idea to combine these two loves of mine into, get this: The very first All Robot Professional Wrestling Federation!
Just picture it, an hour long Robot Pro Wrestling show, complete with color commentary, maybe an interview segment (a la Piper's Pit - or the Brother Love show for those of you who've been around a while), and all the absolutely essential drama; good robots, bad robots, titles snatched through unsavory means when robot referees have their backs turned. It'll be great.
The current stage of development this project is at is, what we call in the business, the "Thinking up cool names for stuff" stage. Here's what I have so far for the event:
Mechanikellerama!
Cyber Slam 2006
and some Robot rasslers:
Slam Unit 791
Dexprodynamic "The King" model 34-1a
Jesse 'the Chassis" Venturabot
