Friends:This Place Rehearsal

About a week ago I posted my photos from Jazz's rehearsal for her performance This Place. Below is a video of my girl in full-effect!

Photos: This Place...

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing the rehearsal of Jazz's upcoming solo performance, This Place. This Place explores the dynamics and impact of those who surround mental illness- the secrecy, regret, trauma, helplessness, legacy.

This performance will premiere Saturday evening, September 27th at DanceSpot in Silver Lake's Studio A Dance. Tickets can be reserved at
StudioADance.com. Hope to see you there!

Travel: NYC Baby!

A few years back while in NYC I was fortunate enough to catch this De La Guarda show:




DLG was nothing short of stellar. It totally resonated with the Burner in me. As you can see from this video clip audience participation is highly encouraged. The performers fed off of the crowd members who exhibited the most openness to the show. Those hiding in the corner of the hall were left alone while those of us *hand raised* constantly jostling for a better vantage point were singled out and encouraged to play along. During different points throughout the evening I found myself dancing with multiple performers. I had a very yummy DLG'er (who apparently thought I was yummy too) literally suctioned to my neck. And yet the best part was when one of the cast members came up behind me, pulled the rubber band right out of my hair and started smelling and twirling my curly locks before dancing with me through the crowd. Seriously too much fun! It was so exciting to be a part of all of that creative energy! Wow!

Flash forward to a few months ago when I ran across a review of a new show opening in NYC called Fuerzabruta. The style of this performance sounded remarkably familiar and after a little research I found out that this show is also from the creators of De La Guarda!




Yep, I'm thinking a trip to NYC this Spring is in order!

Art: DanceSpot Performance and Photo Show!


My sister by soul, Miss Beth, has been busy producing and choreographing (a segment in) the first DanceSpot of 2008. She has graciously invited me to show my work in the Le Barre Lounge at Studio A during the evening of this event. It's worth mentioning that January's DanceSpot will also highlight Beth's first official performance since the birth of her son. And it's no surprise that Miss B has drawn inspiration for her upcoming performance through this beautiful Little Light that has entered into her world! w00t!

As usual, DanceSpot is expected to sell out. If you're interested in joining us for an evening filled with diverse dance performances and visual arts it's suggested that you
reserve your tickets ($15) now by either email (StudioADance@aol.com) or phone (323.661.8311).
