It’s again, and today, we are privileged to highlight a man of many talents, Mr. Paul Antico !
Paul is a bonafide Renaissance man, dancing through life with his many talents and skills. As a musician and filmmaker, Paul graced Cinétique Art Productions’ second stage show playing the Djembe in a ceremonial Winter Solstice song, and was Co-director on ‘Pour l’Amour de la Danse’, a mini documentary following a beautiful, passionate dancer in her twilight years. Later, Paul would serve as Director of Photography on Cinétique’s next film project, “Ignite”, a Druidic dance film emphasizing the relationship between man and nature.
When asked about what he would like to explore next in life, Paul admits he is a little less attracted to anything behind the scenes and would like to be more “a part of it all”. In further response to that, he wrote the following:
“All the un-danced dances imagined on empty stages during this pandemic have expanded my inner experience. Many sensations, exasperations, revelations, and mental mastications invigorated authenticity and understanding on the road to now is the time, now.
The walls fresh with repainted colors warmly glowing speak of transitions away from behind. The vo**ur behind the camera, ever so near to the action but not quite part of it is moving away. Away from behind. It’s time. This time, in time, my time, our time, now.”
Paul is also a healer, and a huge advocate for legalizing psychedelics as a form of medicine to treat people with trauma.
We love you, Paul, and can’t wait to see what life brings you next!
