About me:
Random Acts of Irreverent Dance is a radically inclusive and absurdly ambitious dance project, dreamt up in a high blood sugar hallucination by Ramie Becker, or as she likes to call herself, the "Dance Commander"-(we humor her and go along with it, it's just easier that way). Starting out as a guerrilla dance collective that terrorized the likes of downtown LA and Hollywood, RAID soon found a home at BootieLA's monthly mashup club at the Echoplex (Bootiela.com). Now, almost every month, Random Acts of Irreverent Dance RAIDS (get it, get it?) the Echoplex stage and imposes their bizarre dance sensibilities on an unsuspecting crowd of BootieLA patrons. With the love and support of Bootie founders, Adrian and Deidre Roberts, RAID continues to astound, amaze, bewilder, and delight audiences with our irreverent approach to dance-making and our gold spandexed glory. So the first saturday of next month, you know where to go. Don't fight, just feel it, and come watch us at BootieLA. Submit to the suit....the gold suit, that is. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// RAID is- Miguel Barragan (founding member) Katie Mitchell (founding member) Ramie Becker (founding member) Shakina Nayfack (founding member) Carmen Aiello (founding member) Richard Ragsdale/ Jennifer Jonasssen/ Kien Shimbakura/ Jessica Coffman/ Lindsey Stakoe/ Niketa Calame/ Cindy Burnett/ Jessica Rominowski/ Kimberely Arnold/ Stephanie Caswell/ Jonathan Corps/ Justin Winokur/ Owen Holdren/ Clint Tauscher/ Gail Hoopatron/ Alison Bory/Who I'd like to meet:
