Location: Brighton, United Kingdom
Name: Zazie Zeff (YES that is my real name - are you jelous? ARE YOU?)
Country: England
Hometown: Brighton
DOB: 12/04/89
Age: 19
Sex: Female
Occupation(s): Personal trainer, circus fitness coach, performer
Toys: Staff. Staff.... Staff. OK well I do a bit of other stuff... fans, torches... *cough*poi*cough
Hobbies other than the obvious: Breakdance, acrobatics, contemporary dance, silks, trapeze, dancing, raving.
Education: A bit.
OK this is getting boring. I'm Zazie, I'm a staffer, my staff is my 6th limb.
I like triangles. I like human givens based psycotherapy. I like geometry and breakdance. It's a good combination.
I run my own personal training studio, Z-Fitness, which integrates a variety of circus skills into fitness regimes. The idea behind it is that being active for the sake of being active is boring. By working with circus skills you are developing parts of your brain integral to movement, and developing skills which are apparent more quickly than the other benifits that will follow, but will get you hooked for life.
I perform with Pyrokinesis who are based in Reading. Within staff I specialise in staff acrobatics and acrobalance, contact and dance.
I have recently found out that my last name means wolf in Yiddish. Whaaaaaay.
Three years of my life that took. And I get; "... nice."

Also, staff, nice choice. I'm about to start learning staff, as soon as I find something suitable around the house to improvise one out of.

- Broomstick
- Tube off the vacuum cleaner
- Curtain rail
Or of course you could go buy a wooden pole for approx £2 from a hardware store....

broomstick was my first choice, but we've only got a plastic broom with the head glued on, and I doubt my parents, who are only just about putting up with me still living at home, would take kindly to me dismantling their possessions. And I'm actually too broke to buy a pole until tomorrow.
I'll check the garden.

If all else fails, you could make yourself a beautiful staff if you go wandering round the woods for an hour or so hunting, then spend a few hours sanding it to perfection.
A prop to be proud of there

Not a bad idea. I may make a trip to the woods tomorrow.
I feel i'm slightly stealing the focus of Miss Zazie's introduction thread here, actually.

I guess it's what you get when you attempt a stealth pillowing when you're as stoned as I was...

Well, my avatar pic was taken at that play, so hopefully I looked a bit like that! I was camped with that crazy Palestinian Kal, and spent the whole time suffering hayfever, does a bad American accent and a whole lotta snot jog any memories?
