From the land of Arabian Nights, comes a story teller of a different kind.
There is a vicious voice inside my head, that says the most horrid things. Most of the time, its triads are aimed at me. I call her my inner critic. “You are stupid, worthless, a failure”, the inner critic repeats in an endless cycle, over and over again. Like a waterwheel inside water, generating an [...]
One of my biggest pet peeves as a flamenco dancer is that every once in a while I get called the F word. Flamingo. Yes, I know, shocking but true. For some reason people get confused between the two. Flamenco, flamingo, flamenco flamingo. One is a pink bird that stands on one leg… a lovely [...]
Excerpts from the show I participated in mid November
A chance to win free tickets to an amazing show.
A story of flamenco and religion. The story starts on diner in downtown vancouver. As ihath plunges down the rabbit hole, she discovers a fantastical world of colorful dresses, garish earings and stomping feet. Alas, can she find a magic potion which will allow her to join the garden of splendor?
I felt very honored when I discovered that my photo is featured of the student show poster.
Shooting earings from my earlobes. Will come in handy one day, I am sure.
“I have the best religion, in the world” I declared to a group of friends. We were sitting around a table at the Templeton , a diner nestled among the cinemas, sex shops, and XXX video stores along the seedy side of Granville Street in downtown Vancouver. “Would you like to know what it is?” [...]

For our office Christmas party with the place where I work, I chreographed a little belly dancing routine which I then taught to some of my co-workers. And we performed it at the party for the rest of our co-workers. Keep in mind that most of the group has no dance background and we only [...]
I for one would like to devolve back into a monkey. Given how people have been behaving all over the world, the monkeys seem rather civilized. So I went and tried to join a monkey colony in Zimbabwe, I tried my best to fit in. But despite my best efforts to learn my ho ho [...]
Those fake eyelashes are driving me crazy Ready to get on stage I am not sure I have enough makeup splattered on my face All photos by Cathy Knowlton
I woke up at 10 am in the morning and found myself feeling stressed. “Oh! My God! I woke up at 10 am, I am becoming a bum, I am a slacker, How could I have slept in so late” One voice would say inside my head, but then a calmer voice would say: “ihath, [...]
