Oooopsie. I'm a bad blogger.

     So it's been months since I've posted.  And that's okay.  I've been working.  But now I think it's time to catch up.  Logging in to write this post, I saw that this little blog has 1028 page views.  So SOMEONE is paying attention, which is awesome!  I'm not really aware of any other choreographers documenting their projects in this way, and I think it's helpful to see the evolution of a career with much more information than a line on a resume can illustrate.  So hopefully the posts will be coming fast and furious until I'm up to date.  But as a teaser, here's the list of work to come.....

-video highlights from Are You There, Ann-Margaret?  It's Me!

-SDC Observership with Susan V. Booth on Ghost Brothers of Darkland County

-premiere of "Looping", a new piece, with The Choreographer's Canvas

-assistant directing Broadway Bares: Beach Burlesque

-assisting on "Goldilocks" and performing in "Pied Piper" for Broadway Bares: Happy Endings

-performing the lead and choreographing "Pharmaceutical: The Musical" for TinyRhino

-directing "Good Men.  Bad Men.  Very Bad Men." for the Insomniac's 24 hour play festival

-choreographing my first music video, "Sebastian", for artist Danny Blu

and a couple projects that are still being developed and will be making appearances in the future.  More music videos, revisiting previous dances at new venues, and one super special project that I'm developing from scratch.  It is still in total infancy stages, but I just want to put it into the universe in some form that people who are interested in my work can discover on their own and ask me about.  Romantic's Requiem.  I think it is going to become something stunning.  In a couple years.  But the seed has been planted.

That's all for now.  A teaser.  And a preview of things to come.  I'm back on top of making this online tool an actual resource.  A peak into my creative process.  Because I think I'm doing some pretty cool work and would love to find other people who feel the same and want to help me do more of it.  Yay original art!  And yay online presence!  I'm back.

Just a li'l taste of the show.  Loved working with this talented and uber-fabulous cast!

Are You There, Ann-Margret? It's Me!

This gig absolutely fell into my lap. A choreographer friend of mine was working on the project, then he got swamped with some even bigger/better high profile gigs (and we're talking HIGH PROFILE) and sent the star my way. A diva, three backup dancers, and 90 minutes of fabulous costumes and iconic numbers. Even better, because the show runs for 3 nights and the theater seats over 100, it technically qualifies as my Off-Broadway debut. Fancy. Feels good to sink my teeth into a massive endeavor, and feels great to have friends sending work my way. The reputation continues to grow! Onward and upward...

Camelot...It's a HIT!

So this was the first show I worked on that was actually reviewed by the press. And after all the work we put into it, it felt damn good to get such a positive response! I even got some love for the dances! Never had pull quotes before, so this definitely feels like a giant step in the right direction. Some favorites below, and links to full reviews.
