Fox Conner is an American Homosexual, Poet and Abolitionist studying Dance at Hunter College. Though historically his creative work has maintained a primarily aesthetic and lyrical focus, his foray into Dance has served as an avenue for the somatic exploration of Judeo-Christian, Tantric and Anarchist philosophies and as an ill advised alternative to psychotherapy. He has cited Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pina Bausch, Hellraiser, and Gumby as some of his primary influences. After graduating (fingers crossed!) he plans on growing his hair down to his tailbone and pursuing further studies in Dance at the Graham School.
