Featherpistol
Overview
I offer a unique and appealing sort of entertainment. Mixing sound healing and expressive movement, I will delight your audience with performance art that also brings an element of sound healing. See my videos on this profile to get a sample of the characters/sounds I can create. It can be tailored to your theme as well. There can be "light touch" with tuning forks or no touch, whichever you prefer. People can be walking by, like a character they can pause with before moving on, or people could be laying on yoga mats for a full sound journey. To date, my project Pole for the Globe has donated over $11,000.00 to earth charities. We've also been responsible for planting over 1500 trees.

June 15, 2012added something different to our fundraiser
We hired Featherpistol to perform a pole and dance act at our fundraiser for a documentary. She was our only performer on pole amid some contortionists. We wanted to diversify our show by having another type of circus act. She and her strongman took care of everything required for her performance with minimal help from our side. Easy to work with, prepared and professional- which was helpful since we had so much planning for the event on our side. On top of that she had her hair done beautifully to match her costume for this event and her act fit in perfectly for our mixed ages crowd. Her Chinese Pole acrobatics and dance skills combined with her presence as a performer really brought something unique and her smile lit up the stage! We are glad we hired her for the event and appreciate her showing of beauty and skill. Overall: great experience!

What to expect
The sheer and seamless blending of performance art with Sound Healing in the moment...it is "Mesmerizing"!!! You may feel awe, you may be inspired, you may finally relax and enjoy your evening after a stressful week. You can expect to feel curious about what my performance will be like, and then be transported to another realm through sound. Whether it's a performance you want or an immersive sound healing experience, you will have a memorable event.
About
Born and raised in Minnesota I earned a Bachelors from USC in Chemistry and Art History. I then received a Fulbright Fellowship to study in Florence, Italy. On paper I was focusing on Italian Art Conservation Science. In reality I ran daily next to the Arno River, ate fantastic pizza, pasta e dolci, took Kung Fu lessons with the Italianos, and fell in love with LIFE.
Upon returning to the states I ventured into the physical fitness fields in order to stay fit, work with people, and run my own business. It's something I've always wanted - to be my own boss ;)
Pole dance, aerial arts, acrobatics, chinese pole, contortion, kung fu and ballet have all peppered my movement journey, flavoring my style in a unique way. My background in art history gives me a good eye for costumes and design, while my chemistry background helps my technique. Not to mention the scientist in me keeps me practical :) I have been performing in one facet or another since I was very young.
I have several props that I use for performances. This is to make my act as portable as possible.
When it comes to your event, I am reliable, well-prepared, easy to work with and on time! I check email frequently, am great at small talk and will help make your event a success. I am looking forward to working with you and creating a very special celebration for your friends and guests.
All the Best,
LL Featherpistol
Additional booking notes
I have my own vehicle to transport props and travel to gigs. For pole performances I do have several pole options I can bring. For sound healing I bring a variety of props. I will need a space to change on site, as well as a safe area to stretch and leave my things while performing. At 5'10' stretching my splits requires some space!
I will need travel reimbursement for travel further than 30 miles, flights, etc.
It is best if there is good lighting on or nearby the stage to help illuminate the performance, but I am open-minded when it comes to lighting ideas or visual effects.

Set list
I create a "soundtrack" for my performances and also create sound when doing the Sound Healing portions. Whether it's a stage performance, a character, or an immersive sound experience, the music score will be created as a playlist for your event.

Fairly Loud music! If I can't hear it it's hard to dance too :)
