interview with JC MOORE

1. What industry do you work in? I work in entertainment design, predominately Lighting Design. I am currently the Technical Director/Lighting designer for Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (Ailey II ), I also design lighting for concerts, night clubs, fashion shows, special events, video and film, restaurants.

2. What excites you most about the work that you do? I am highly stimulated by my work and all the traveling I get to do. Everyday is different and there is never a dull moment. It's great to be a creative force. It's never the same. Not to mention the great amount of celebrities I get to meet and work with. Most of all being challenged is always exciting and stimulating.

3. What is your ultimate goal, where do you see yourself a year from now? My ultimate goal is to open my own event space. Not a night club, but a venue that I can change into what ever I want. So when I am tired of traveling I can just stay in one place. A year from now I see myself traveling out of the US more often.

4. Have you ever had your heart broken or broken any hearts? Explain. I must say that I have had my heart broken I hate it when guys just disappear and give up with no explanation. No call, No Show, No Nothing... They just quit. THAT HURTS! If I have broken any hearts it was never on purpose. But I'm a cupid at heart naturally.

5. What do you like about New York? What do you dislike? You mean what I love about NY. What I love is the of variety of people, jobs, lifestyle & opportunities. What I dislike are some of people's funky attitudes. Most people are not from here, so they don't care. I feel that they have to prove that they are so fierce, and put it on extra thick. I'm like be your self, be real, all that other stuff don't work for me. I call it dramatics!

6. Where are you from? I am from Berkeley, California. Better known as the Bay Area. That's in Northern part of California. Not to far from San Francisco and Oakland. I have to say that because when I say Cali most people think L.A.

7. How would you describe your ideal mate? My ideal mate is loyal, passionate, sexy, fun, hardworking, honest, creative, educated (Street Smarts count), free & open-minded, friendly and outgoing. With an appetite to get more out of life. I like guys that live life and not let life live them.
