Fakir Musafar Dances Sacred & Profane

[quote]
Born in 1930 on what was then an Indian Reservation, Fakir is a depression baby from Aberdeen, South Dakota. He studied electrical engineering and has a B.S.E. degree from Northern State University (South Dakota) plus an M.A. degree in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University. For many years he held executive positions in San Francisco advertising agencies and operated his own ad agency in Silcon Valley. Fakir has had, over the years, a very checkered career path that included such odd occupations as Instructor in Demolitions & Explosives (U.S. Army 1952-54) and teacher of ballroom dancing at Arthur Murray's. All the while, he was privately practicing what his inner spirit revealed to him as a valid but non-sanctioned way (in this culture) to reach spirit through the body. In 1979, he made his first public coming out at the first International Tattoo Convention in Reno Nevada. Since then, he has seen as his "life work" writing, speaking and teaching others what he has experienced and learned by doing "body play".

In the 1990's, Fakir has appeared on many mass media shows like NBC's Faith Daniels Show, CNN's Earth Matters, and TBS Discovery Channel. This year he has done extensive interviews for London Weekend Television's Southbank Show which will appear in the U.S, on the Bravo Channel.

Fakir, from Dances Sacred and Profane 1982

Presently Fakir is a popular speaker at universities and colleges, new age and other special interest groups. In recent years he has contributed material and photos to contemporary publications like THEATER JOURNAL (performance art), John Willie's BIZARRE magazine (fetish and SM exploration), SKIN TWO, and other similar magazines. He has also lectured and performed at international art festivals like ICA in London (Institute of Contemporary Art, Rapture Series, 1995) and the International Seminar on BODY: RITUAL-MANIPULATION at Kannonhallen in Copenhagen (1995). In 1997 he lectured and performed body rituals with his partner, Cleo Dubois, at FESTIVAL ATLANTICO in Lisbon, Portugal.

Fakir Musafar likes to speak, perform and present shamanic body rituals wherever a receptive audience can be gathered. He is available for bookings to give lectures, performances, shamanic body piercings and brandings, group body rituals, and body piercing and branding classes or workshops. [/quote]

[quote]DANCES SACRED AND PROFANE is the film which introduced Fakir Musafar, the Father of the Modern Primitive movement, to the world. Fakir performs--for real--the first ever filming of the Sundance ceremony, which Richard Harris immortalized in the film A Man Called Horse. The extraordinary footage of Fakir hanging suspended from flesh hooks that have been pierced through his breasts is now available through the Dances Sacred and Profane Redux DVD for the first time in over twenty years.[/quote]

...and Ron Athey, the unholy three :juas:

Trep is very right, lucky is the man who knows about his desires and has no fear to make them come true. Regardless of other persons opinions... :wink:

Oh, man, that piece of artwork right above gives me a whole new perspective at the familiar English expression "where the sun doesn't shine" (:-)

But, speaking of desires, do you mean to say that their primary motivation is the physical pleasure they derive from doing various things to their bodies? I have no way to disprove it, but I strongly suspect that their desires are much more histrionic in nature. Otherwise, why would they bother about creating so much publicity around them?! Which makes me rather sceptical of your remark about doing things "regardless of other persons opinions"... :roll:

Quote o' the day: "Those who restrain desire do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps its place and governs the unwilling." --Willliam Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

But Helge, you confound desire with physical pleasure, which if anything is a _need_, and it's not a real problem most of the time :P Desires are more... erm... abstract!

But then I don't understand enough of all that to be clearer than this... maybe in a couple of years, and if I'll get laid a little more :lol:

Kurt Kren was fired lost all his life in the pursuit of his art which many people still dont call art. He only said 'somebody has to do it!' he felt the need to do it, maybe for his self-pleasure, maybe for whatever reason but he did it. I'm not saying that what Musafar makes his art, I wouldn't call it that, he just revives the primitive rituals. But I do believe what Athey does 'is' art, he feels and he believes that he must do it, there is apparent reason, he just 'has' to do it, like Kren, that is the difference. What I meant by other people opinions is that, what if Kren would have listen to his wife when she left him? Maybe we wouldn't have his art works today. SO yes it's very admirable a person that knows her desires and goes after them no matter what including other persons opinions.

Whew, you scared me, good to know you're still among us wise beings... :P
(I never followed up to you last post on "Kiev Frescos" on FH, but you don't really believe that computers should substitute humans in deciding what's plausible (or worthy) either, do you? :lol:)
helge79 escribió:Oh, that perennial topic on the Internet!.. Goog luck, Trep, good luck...
Was the typo by desing? (you wrote "goog-luck", sounding like a famous search engine that's more and more becoming the whole internet for some people...)

It's the eternal topic on the Internet and elsewhere precisely because of the confusion we've spoken about above. Some time ago there were other well-understood ways to try to place a plug to the open hole that's desire: somebody called them sublimation, a term I don't like because it seems to imply they're choices "less natural" than, or a way to avoid the physical mess of, the many physical acts one can do to try to reach an orgasm (desperately trying to avoid the hopelessly imprecise, placeholder term that is "sex" here.) Now these other ways are disappearing from the mainstream, and what is left as an alternative route to desire is (forgive me the triaviality) buying a lot of useless stuff. Or at least that *would be* an alternative route, if advertising hadn't done all it could to terminally obfuscate the distances...

About me (we should never speak of desire without speaking of us, at least a little - I don't want to look like a talk-show sexologist), I've been exploring "abstract" desires at least since I was 8 (that is, more than 20 years ago), yet I lived basically as an asexual geek until the very last years, and I still do to some extent. That's not good either.

Here's where Fitz's last post fit in. Even your most close acquaintances will probably use a simplified, two-dimensional character as a "model" when dealing with you. They know what to expect and they're prepared for that, they can answer you without really listening ecc... We all do this, it's not a bad thing. But if you decide to really stray from the character you've put yourself into and stop reading the lines you've been writing yourself for a long time, you're not only going against other people opinions, but you're probably going against their feelings, their expectations; you'll make them afraid, you'll force them to rethink stuff best left buried, you'll move their life in that place where fear and pleasure live, and not only routine (you can see this well in "All that heaven allows" by Douglas Sirk ;))

Hope some meaning will trickle through my not-so-good english...
