PARADOX POLLACK is currently working in Hollywood as an actor, fight choreographer, producer and movement director. He is one of the producers developing Starhawk’s beloved novel “The Fifth Sacred Thing” into a feature film. Paradox has worked directly with some of the biggest names in Hollywood including actors Robin Williams, Will Smith, Rene Russo, Chris Hemsworth, and Tom Hiddleston, directors JJ Abrams and Kenneth Branagh, and legendary stunt coordinator Vic Armstrong. His extensive 30-year career in the performing arts created the foundation for his work in film. Paradox has dedicated his entire life to create works of art, and evolve practices that serve humanity. To further this commitment he is developing COINE, a social media application, which cultivates human attention, integration and action toward individual and environmental health. Since 1990 Paradox has been a student and practitioner of the ancient Balinese ritual art of the Kecak (also known as the Monkey Chant) and has brought it to such diverse contexts as prisons, festivals, schools and business retreats. With this practice he has brought the wisdom of village ritual to a modern context and is very excited to share his insights and findings through the venue of Lucidity.
