1. In one sentence what is unique about your work?
The uniqueness of my work is that it is necessary to observe strict canons of classical dance and at the same time a free flight of the soul, imagination and self-expression, finds when it comes to balletmastership, productions of new numbers, choreography. All this contributes to a great creative process.
2. Why do you do what you do?
Because this is something that I have dreamed of since my childhood, I taught of this profession professionally since I was 10 years old. Therefore, I consider myself to be a happy person. I run to work in good spirit, I pass my knowledge to my students. I always have goals, plans for which I must strive, and which I must overcome. A new presentation, a contest, a festival is an experiment, a development, an excuse to correct and grow in ballet and art there is no limit, I can always develop and grow infinitely.
3. What inspires you?
In my profession every life situation, whether it's a strong, hard period or joyful, funny moments bring ideas for new productions. Visiting theaters, museums, new places (traveling), reading books, listening to music-all this is a search and a find that are embodied in the choreography. I am inspired by meetings with talented, interesting, intelligent people who have achieved success with their work, talent and who can learn, gain experience.
4. What is your personal style?
My style is my inner world. I love depth and meaning in everything. I am close to classical styles and I love the East.
5. Your ultimate must-have.
The health and happiness of my family and of course my favorite work. Without it, I would feel myself unrealized.
6. What superpower would you have and why?
I would like to be able to heal terminally ill people and never lose my family and friends.

7. What is next for you?
My future is in my hands. I hope fate and the stars will align in a way so I leave a trail in the upbringing of future ballet dancers and the production of ballet.
I also have plans for a while now, that are not yet realized, to teach children in orphanages classical dance.
For a child who's been through a lot coming in contact with classical music and dance is a kind of therapy. And even if only one child can grow from hundredth of children into a real ballet dancer, this will be a great asset and an example for the rest of the disadvantaged children. Love for Art will give birth to Love and to people.

JE SUIS GUY OBERSON
"My work deals with the undefined, with sensuality, and with the interaction between strength and fragility. "
Occupation: Visual artist / drawing, painting and sculptor
Website: www.guyoberson.com
Personal background (where were you born?): I was born in Switzerland. Later, I lived and worked in Berlin. Now I live partly in Paris and partly in the Swiss countryside.
In one sentence what is unique about your work? My work deals with the undefined, with sensuality, and with the interaction between strength and fragility.
Why do you do what you do? In the first place, creating is not a choice, it's just an energy that would burn me if I didn't use it. And in the second place, my activity gives meaning to my life.
What inspires you? Everything that surrounds me, people, nature, politics, art history, mythology, literature... I feel the need to grasp through art everything that touches or disturbs me in my daily life, in my travels.... One of my works is entitled “Can’t Turn a Blind Eye”. I think that sums up my artistic attitude.
Describe your personal style. Gentle and violent. Luminous and serious.
Your ultimate must-have. Sincerity in love, friendship and art.
What superpower would you have and why? The right humor for every situation in life! More seriously, the power to put an end tonuclear waste, which I think is the only thing that can't be erased... not for 100.000 years!
What is next for you? I'm working on a number of projects, including a series of drawings from the photographs of Diane Arbus and Robert Mapplethorpe.
JE SUIS FAITH ALPHER
Occupation: Comedian
Instagram: @faith_alpher
Where were you born? I was born and raised in Teaneck, New Jersey.
In one sentence what is unique about your work? My comedy shows are always unique because every show has a special element or surprise feature!
Why do you do what you do? I do what I do because that's just how I was raised. My mom worked in New York for 33 years and constantly gave back. She volunteered. She loved her family and did the best she could as a single mom. As I got older I saw that I LOVED giving back too. But my talents were making people laugh. I did it without any effort. It can natural. I loved Carol Burnett and Whoopi Goldberg. I had their comedy of storytelling weaved into humor and love. I worked on my craft, took pride in my product and ran with it. Plus, laughter is healing and I guess I needed IT more than it needed me.
What inspires you? I'm inspired by the stories of audience goers. I'm truly touched when I receive a message about someone finally feeling free to share their story. We all have a story.
Describe your personal style. My personal style of DRESSING? Ummm, ok let's just say I could use a personal dresser. I clean up well, but my sisters were more of the fashion divas living in NY. Me? Well, I tried. Lol. Still trying! I've been told that my style resembles Lucille Ball, Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah! I know, right. I LOVE comedy but it must accompany a message of positivity, growth AND fun. Otherwise, it's a waste of your time.....did you mean this OR the other?
Your ultimate must-have. My ultimate must haves would have to be my Arbonne Protein Shake w almond butter and blackberries! I need clean products to fuel my body. No gluten please....
What superpower would you have and why? I would definitely have the superpowers of transporting myself back to hang out with my mom and dad whenever I felt like it. They're in the east. I'm in the west.
What is next for you? I so excited because what comes next for me is Broadway!! Off Broadway is equally awesome too. Hopefully a 6-12 month commitment? After that touring and speaking my show: Black Girl. Funny World. I definitely know TV is waiting for me!! My mom would be glad that I finally get to use my SAG card again! (she always told me to pay my dues :-).

I've been work shopping a novel series I'd like to have more time to write. Also, trying to pump out an album or at the very least more YouTube video of me performing. I've been doing improv at LA's UCB. And continuing to grow my shoe company SoulKix, where every shoe sold we donate to a child in need.
To relax from this crazy schedule, I surf 3 times a week, play basketball once a week, go to the gym 5 times a week, make sure I read from 2 separate books every day, and in December I'm getting married to the love of my life.

In one sentence what is unique about your work?
I have a background in finance and working on Wall Street, a decade of art advisory expertise and promoting and exhibiting emerging artists, and six year experience selling residential real estate in New York.
Why do you do what you do?
My clients challenge me to find real estate and art that suits their lifestyle, for both an investment and aesthetic reasons. I am blessed to work with clients who typically share a mutual appreciation of art and real estate with a strong interest in design. New clients who have a desire to start an art collection are also able to leverage my experience as an art advisor and curator to add a creative edge to their home. The mix between art and design is unique to the world of those in the real estate world. Not many agents can say they are also an art advisor and have a trained eye for design. I do.
What inspires you?
Artists inspire me every day. Thinking outside of the box lends a unique creative focus motivating me to consistently come up with fresh ideas to sell or buy art and real estate.

What inspires you? As a performer, old school rock and roll inspires me because it is just so primal and masculine
Describe your personal style. I grew up riding horses so before I joined Thunder I spent a lot of time on the large cattle stations in the Australian Outback mustering cattleduring the day. We would muster cattle for days and weeks on end. Now that I get to travel the world with Thunder, I guess I'd have to say that my personal style is that I am a natural born nomad.

Je Suis Amy Risley Small
Occupation: Creative Director / Web Designer / New Mom.
Instagram: @amyriz
Website: www.amyrisley.com
Where were you born?
I grew up in a small town in Connecticut called Tolland - it’s picture perfect, idyllic New England. I couldn’t wait to get out and move to the city when I was younger, but I love going back now. I appreciate the slow pace and simplicity so much more now than I did when I was a kid. To this day I think the town only has two traffic lights.
In one sentence what is unique about your work?
I have a strong intuition when it comes to bringing a client’s vision to light and can adapt my style and approach to ensure they really see themselves in the final product.
Why do you do what you do?
I work with a lot of brands at their inception, many launching solely with e-commerce- which means together we’re designing their whole world and defining how their customers will get to know and engage with them. With the web, I love that there’s a constant opportunity to evolve. Brands can create layers of unique creative content, from lifestyle imagery to blogs, videos and social media content- and it can all change and refresh as often as they want, on their own terms. I get to be the architect behind all of that and it’s always an exciting challenge.
What inspires you?
Fearlessness. Selflessness. Acquiring more experiences than material things...smoky pastels…and Alicia Keys’ whole not wearing makeup thing.
Describe your personal style.
I’m that typical NYC to LA convert who went from caring about fashion to focusing more on versatility and happily adopting an effortless California style. I love that the weather here always permits combos like a sweater paired with jean shorts or a cropped leather jacket over a sundress…and I’ll pretty much wear anything striped.
Your ultimate must-have.
Balance. Time to work and grow my business, quality time to unplug with my husband and daughter, and time for myself to exercise and be mindful of my health and wellness.
What superpower would you have and why?
The ability to fit all of the above into a single day!
What is next for you?
I’m working on some fun new branding & web projects; a hotel in Palm Springs, and a redesign of one of my favorite lifestyle blogs, among others...but what I’m truly excited about is anticipating the first time my 3 month old daughter starts to giggle…that’s the next heart-melting milestone I’m looking forward to most.

Where were you born? **
Born in Paris (France). I love style, fashion and art. Mother of four daughters, my life is well organized and paced from early morning to evening yet I love the rhythm :-).
In one sentence what is unique about your work?
Each of my pieces are unique as I work mainly on commission. My clients entrusts me with thousands of personal pictures… Each commission is unique.
Why do you do what you do?
Having a passion for the digital world and art, I always had a special interest in photography. I was not doing much with my photos and daily snapshots (apart from a yearly printed book version which stands on my bookshelves!). Since I couldn’t display XXL prints of my friends and family in my living-room, I had the idea to create an XXL format made of thousands of little photos. It allows you to get a glimpse of these special moments at any time. The idea is simple. You can focus on a message, a face or a place among the thousands of snapshots that have been selected.
My first print was a gift to my husband for our wedding anniversary many years ago. Once it was hanging on the wall, our friends began to order for themselves, then friends of friends…
What inspires you?
Happy faces, smiling eyes, art, and my family.
Describe your personal style.
Happy & organized.
Your ultimate must-have. Positive attitude.
What superpower would you have and why?
I would love to stop time when I want to enjoy more the little special moments.
What is next for you?
A project for Facebook Paris office.

In one sentence what is unique about your work? My main job as Miss Tennessee is to work for Governor Bill Haslam. This past year I have traveled over 80,000 speaking to over 50,000 Tennessee school children about making good choices and having good character. Why do you do what you do? I have always wanted to make a difference in people's lives, and that is why I wanted to become Miss Tennessee. The title of Miss Tennessee gives me a state-wide platform to try to positively influence thousands of children throughout my year. What inspires you? Children inspire me. I love to work with children, whether I am teaching a science lesson or teaching children how to make good decisions. Their excitement and the dreams that they have that they want to achieve inspires me every day. Describe your personal style. I think my personal style would be simple but sophisticated. I think it is so true when they say "dress for the job you want, not necessarily for the job that you have." I want to have a successful future, so I try to dress the part every day! Your ultimate must-have. My must-have is definitely a good handbag. I love neutral color bags that can go with any look, and I am a very organized person so it has to have lots of pockets and compartments to keep me organized! What superpower would you have and why? If I could have any superpower it would definitely be to fly. If I could have flown all year as Miss Tennessee instead of driven the state, I could have reached more children throughout my year! What is next for you? After I crown Miss Tennessee 2016 on June 18th, I will be enjoying my summer break and going back to school at the University of Tennessee at Martin in August! I am excited to finish up my undergraduate degree and graduate in May of 2017!

Je Suis Sierra Swan
Artist.
Occupation: Artist www.sierraswan.com
Instagram: @sierraswan
Personal background:
I was born in Van Nuys, California in
1978. My father, Billy Swan is a singer
songwriter and played rhythm guitar in
Kris Kristofferson's band for over 20
years. My mother, Marlu Swan was also
a songwriter for some time but mainly
she was a dancer, that's how she made
her living for most of her life,
unfortunately she passed away when
I was 24. Long story short I'm a valley
girl from Sherman Oaks :)
In one sentence what is unique about
your work?
I don't have any rules at all;
I don't care what is popular. I do what
I want musically, always.
Why do you do what you do?
Honestly, I do what I do because
I don't really know how to do anything
else better and it makes me extremely
happy.
What inspires you?
This bizarre planet inspires me.
I feel like I'm visiting, so I'm
observing all of the time. Trying to
make my experience here on earth more
interesting I guess. I'm pretty sure a
lot of people feel that way.
Describe your personal style.
My personal style is very reminiscent
of my music. I pretty much wear what I
want. I love to mix and match things up.
Considering I'm a mother of two,
I'm usually in jeans and what I like to
call a 'mom shirt' which are my
husband’s old shirts. If I'm going out,
I will put way more effort into it
although; I love vintage clothing the
most. I will buy a handful of new nice
clothes a year, My favorite designer
right now is Heidi Merrick, her clothes
are absolutely lovely but still
comfortable and super chic.
Your ultimate must-have.
My absolute must have are jeans and
house dresses that I can be seen in
public in, just in case I have to run
out, and a pair of black ballet
slippers.
What superpower would you have and why?
If I could have a super power I would
probably choose the ability to fly,
cause I mean come on, who doesn't want
to fly!? I would say read minds but I
already know how to do that;)
What is next for you?
Right now I'm writing for my next
record and I may do a few more dates
with the Smashing Pumpkins at the end
of the year, but nothing is set in
stone yet. Billy Corgan and I have been
discussing a project we would like to
do together for a long time now, so who
knows perhaps that will be in some kind
of development sometime down the road.
Je Suis Danielle Sinay
Other than aggressively abusing parenthetical? I think my honesty and willingness to discuss what nobody wants to. My writing is very personal; I tend to address women’s rights and gender equality
Occupation: Writer, Teacher, MFA Candidate
Instagram: @daniellesinay
Where were you born?
I was born and raised in Los Angeles,
California!
What is unique about your work?
Other than aggressively abusing
parenthetical?
I think my honesty and willingness to
discuss what nobody wants to. My writing
is very personal; I tend to address
women’s rights and gender equality, ie.
sexual-assault, body image, general
fury towards the patriarchy…. And nobody
wants to hear it. But I discovered a
loophole! I disguise said tragic issues
as some form of twisted humor and
self-deprecation, and it makes people
laugh (because people are disturbing),
distracting them just enough to get
them to pay attention. If all goes
well, maybe they’ll learn something.
Or just laugh at me. Whatever.
OMG see, I abused a parenthetical.
Why do you do what you do?
I’ve loved writing since I was a baby;
I came out the womb with a quill pen.
Just kidding. But really, I have loved
writing since I was a very tiny human.
It all began when I wrote my first
‘novel’ in third grade. It was called
‘The Valentine’s Locket,” and I’ve been
sentenced to the life of a writer
ever since.
Is it lame to say I feel like I
“have to?” Because I really do.
Especially now with the internet,
writing is a more powerful medium than
ever.
Anything an artist or writer produces
is accessible within minutes.
If you’re like me and have a specific
message you want to get out there - you
can, everywhere, immediately. I think
people take that for granted. But
it’s so cool, and makes it all worth it.
What inspires you?
The women in my life. My sister, my mom,
my grandma, and all of my best friends.
They inspire me to be better, to work
harder, to love myself. Because if they
can do it, so can I. (I can’t be the
disappointing friend who ends up
looking the worst in group photos.)
Describe your personal style.
According to my friend Jessica:
“A cross between a fifteen year old
Brandy Melville model and a soccer mom
from Connecticut.” I concur.
Your ultimate must-have.
AQUAPHOR. It’s a life-saver. And I’m
sure if I was stranded on an island
on the verge of death I could eat it or
something. Should I have said a book?
That would just be a lie though. I’m
sorry. You can read the label. I’m a
fraud.
What superpower would you have and why?
Egg-frying, party-planning, eating 20+
chicken wings and not dying.
Because those are the things I am best
at. And maybe hearing my dogs’ thoughts,
which I am not good at, but would like
to be.
What is next for you?
I’m graduating with my Master’s in
Creative Nonfiction next week(!) so
I’ll go through the post-grad-freak out
for a month or two. I’ll keep writing,
of course, and hopefully go back to
teaching. My ultimate goal is to become
a college professor, but in the meantime,
I’d love to keep working with kids.
…And eventually make the questionable
life choice of pursuing a PhD.

I consider myself to be an extremely creative person. What is next for you? Only God knows…
Je Suis Nicolas Destino
I would describe my work as uncluttered, minimalist, sober and geometric. The objects I create gravitate between concept and function, It depends on the project.

In one sentence what is unique about your work?
The conceptualization of the design.
Why do you do what you do?
In order to translate and materialize my thoughts. I have always felt a need to express ideas I have in my mind.
My studies have helped me discover some materials and my work has enabled me to get an accurate understanding of new materials. I like moving forward, creating new things, meeting my personal needs as well as other people’s needs.
What inspires you?
Anything which represents a concept that is strong enough to me. It could be an environment, an atmosphere, a style, a color, a feeling. Actually, things come by themselves to my mind. I only have to translate them.

What superpower would you have and why?

What is next for you?
It's a personal project, it consists in a new series of objects concerning fashion. Fashion has always fascinated me and I want to adapt it to my universe. For now a series of three objects are being manufactured by different craftsmen and should soon be presented to the public.
Oh...a long and very short story...I believe that everyone is born to be as their heart every night, every moment suggests them to be.And sometimes, often, very often, this call becomes more and more insistent, more and more deafening that it is impossible not to hear and follow.
