San Francisco based creatrix Bast serves her dharma as a
performance and visual artist, modern temple dancer, writer, poet,
yoga teacher, and healing artist. She studied at New College of San Francisco with an emphasis on Art and Social Change and has created performance, dance, and visual art works at numerous venues and public site-specific locations in San Francisco,
New York, and internationally.
Artistic inspiration comes from fertile personal experience of the left hand path of yoga and many forms of sacred ceremony
from across the globe: tantric ritual sadhana/ puja, shaktipat, darshan, Japanese tea ceremony, among others. Performances are an opulent, surreal live dream, in which the barrier between artist and audience always dissolves by whatever method will awaken and benefit.
Her modern temple dance is an intentional global blend of tribal fusion bellydance, classical Indian, traditional Middle Eastern,
Butoh, Afro-Haitian, and modern dance forms.
"I don't feel that I 'make art.' Rather, art makes it's way 'through me,' trickling down from what I can only describe as more refined realms of consciousness accessed through meditation and practice."
