  4. leiflife – I have lived most of my life as a dancer,but I have been daughter, sister, lover, wife, mother and, more recently, grandmother, writer, sculptor, musician, and visual artist. Balancing all these aspects of my life continues to be a challenge. I was born on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, but have also lived in New Orleans, Texas, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York City. My father was the artist and naturalist, Walter Inglis Anderson, and my mother was Agnes Grinstead Anderson, an elementary school teacher and a writer. As a child, I loved to dance naturally, inspired by the trees, birds, wind, and waves that greeted my every day. Eventually, I took lessons and my mother encouraged my dream of becoming a great ballerina. I studied ballet with Lelia Haller in New Orleans, and the atmosphere of competition, and the sense that one could never be good enough, daunted my dreams and exhausted my spirit and body. In 1965, Three things happened to free me from the tyrannical world of ballet and move me further toward the balance my soul craved. I discovered Isadora Duncan, the great revolutionist of modern dance, I gave birth to my daughter, Moira, and my artist father died. From here on I would claim the freedom to explore and express the whole of my life through dancing. I was free to become the many-faceted star I was born to be. Since then I have mothered and performed, loved and written poetry, taught the dance technique I called Airth (after the balancing forces of air and earth). I have shared my life with husband or lover, raised my children and kissed them goodby and hello repeatedly. I have also kissed my students goodby and enjoyed teaching workshops from which I could walk away, glad to relax in the company of various dogs and cats. I have read huge quantities of extraordinary books, making friends with the authors through their engaging characters. I have also written poems, memoirs, children's books, and one novel. I have two published books: DANCING THROUGH AIRTH and DANCING WITH MY FATHER. My brush and ink drawings, sculptures, and paintins dance through the homes of strangers while I make occasional journies to Paris and dance anonymously on Paris Streets. At age sixty-five, one is tempted to settle into complacency, to say "I have done the best I can; so be it. I would rather die.

  8. Andreas Ignotus – Gibraltar – Born in November 16, 1972 on the Black Sea coast in Constanta, Romania, I attended Constanta Maritime University, receiving the Bachelor of Engineering degree. A course of graduate studies in military sciences at the “Carol I” National Defense University in Bucharest led me to the Master’s degree in National Security and Defense. As a student, I was a social worker, then Chief of a parliamentary office. After receiving the Bachelor’s degree, I worked as a junior lecturer in a private university and held positions in local administration. My love for the sea and ships next led me to positions from Engineer to Managing Director in various companies repairing, building, or managing ships. For a short time I was the Personal Advisor to the Minister of Transport from Romania. I worked for a while for the International Airport “Mihail Kogalniceanu” Constanta-Romania

  11. Louis – Man of leisure! Particular interests: Photography, gardening, reading - especially historical fiction - and the arts in general. I enjoy quiet rather than noise; shade rather than sun. We (my wife and I, the children having long since pursued their various paths) live on the edge of a small village, next to a sheep farm. Our favourite holiday retreat is the Isles of Scilly.

  14. wildsherkin – Sherkin Island, Co Cork, Ireland – I like to make things, and I don't always have time and space to do that. Sherkin Island is a tiny island off the south west coast of Cork. It's one of the Carbery One Hundred Isles in Roaring Water Bay, just a ten minute ferry ride from Baltimore in West Cork yet a million miles away from my day job.
