Debuting a new piece!



You can catch my choreography live! On August 30 and 31st I'll be presenting a beautiful number at the choreographic showcase Band of Gypsies. Katrina Phillip is putting together an evening of dances by choreographers who are also performers on the elite musical theater circuit. I'm currently in rehearsals for my number "Sunday Interlude, NYC" with the lovely Tiffany Ocvirk and Chip Abbott and I can't even begin to describe how thrilled I am with the way things are shaping up. Come see it in person at St. Luke's on 46th between 8th and 9th ave. August 30-1 at 8. More information at http://www.bandofgypsies.net and on facebook here.

Ghosting Trial #2-FAIL

First self-aknowledged FAIL. So I had a rehearsal with Tiff today and when we finished early, I wanted to play around and get a little footage to mess with. The plan was to riff on a whole Cupid/Psyche story, but because of the camera angle and mirror it doesn't read at all. So that part of the footage was a big old fail. I still wanted to play with the ghosting concept and have a few successes with this one though. #1-interaction between a solid body and a fading person is possible. #2-layering the crossfades to get multiple afterimages instead of just one. Fun stuff to explore w/ that. And #3-I made Tiff fly across the room! Pretty nifty possibilities to keep exploring!
