		<title>Deus Ex: The Eyeborg Documentary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have tried for years to separate the movement of my left hand&#8217;s pinky and ring finger. I have, so far, continued to fail at this undertaking. I sometimes think to myself &#8220;if only I had a bionic hand&#8230;&#8221; Not to take my fortune of have working appendages for granted, but it seems as if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Onwards, Upwards, Westwards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember heading out to Los Angeles for the first time in 2008. I was there to meet Graph for the first time and out to the California desert to Coachella. Even though my stay in Los Angeles was short, I felt as if I was home. Fast forward over 3 years later and trips [...]]]></description>

Lots of great quotes and ideas are stowed within the nooks of this video including bits on curiosity, motivation, influence and finishing projects. Zuckerman notes that &#8220;when curiosity and rigor gets together, something happens.&#8221;  Curious about what he has to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drex &#8211; On the Merits of Arguing Poi Frameworks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this stunning write-up on the merits of arguing Poi frameworks, Drex touches on the very topic I hope to expand on as we get closer to the promotional material for the new F.N Instructional DVD.  Here&#8217;s some excerpts: We all know this story&#8230;you&#8217;re at a festival, spin jam, or on an online forum and [...]]]></description>

		<title>C2b &#8211; Dobbelaere</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Body. Illusion. Pattern. Objects. Music. Sound familiar? Reminds me of Liquid Dancing, but in fact I&#8217;d like to share a video about another type of artform: Juggling. What makes them sound so similar in text? Perhaps that they&#8217;re linked through the larger performance arts grouping of Object Manipulation, similar to Poi, Staffs, Contact Juggling, Hooping [...]]]></description>

		<title>F.N Studio &#8211; Behind The Scenes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like most dancers, I dream of having a studio at my disposal. Unlike most dancers, my dream studio doesn&#8217;t have hardwood floors and mirrors. It has muslin backdrops and softbox lighting. I&#8217;m referring of course to a photography studio and my dream is now a reality. I&#8217;d like to take this opportunity to present some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Recommendation &#8211; Talent Is Overrated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have never considered myself to be what some call a &#8220;natural talent.&#8221; In fact, while I&#8217;ve taken up many hobbies in my life (drawing, skating, DJ&#8217;ing, photography, videography and more), it&#8217;s my opinion that the reason I&#8217;ve stuck with dance for so long is because I&#8217;m not naturally good at it. Dance has been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introducing &#8211; The F.N Studio</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two years ago I had an epiphany about dancing. I realized that we as dancers have historically had slim to no means of making our art tangible. Sculptors have wood and clay. Painters have canvas and walls. What do dancers have? A moment in space in time. Observable? Yes, but lasting only in memory. Today [...]]]></description>
