Artward Bound 2013

I am the luckiest artist in the world.

This August The Field sent me to Earthdance for an Artward Bound Residency

OMG. Creative Paradise. I haven't felt so completely myself for such a long time.

The woods, the staff, our facilitator and an amazingly talented, smart kickass group of ladies all injected me with so much strength and renewal I'm completely reinvested in getting out there and kicking some arty ass in the most generous way possible.

While Earthdance has some gorgeous studios, I found myself even more inspired to do daily videodances in the woods. To share with you a taste of this magical experience I am posting a few, randomly chosen, unedited moments.

Thanks for watching!

Also, I have some material here, for an installation. It needs a home. Hit me up if you have some leads.

2 performances

I have two shows coming up.

I am so excited to be showing work in NYC's historic Judson Church through Movement Research's Monday night showings. Judson Church is a "radical arts ministry"! Who knew such a thing existed?!

so i'm kind of a little bit nervous

This is a totally new solo, WINGS. I will be joined again by my trusty vintage Newcomb record player. I'm going to be working with some text, I'm playing with soundscapes, I'm dancing around. It's gonna be pretty rad.

It's goin down Monday 4/29 8 PM
55 Washington Square South

It's Free!

In addition I will be dusting off an old jewel Mercy Is A Warrior for Dance Day at DNA. I will be joined by a beautiful new dance friend Julie Bordonaro and I am going to have a new skirt designed by Andrae Gonzalo (yes that Andrae!)

Saturday May 4th.

It is an all day event with tons of performances and classes. We will be performing twice around 1 in the lobby and around 4:3o in the upstairs gallery.

It's also free!

I've been putting some samples online.

This is

YOUR MORALITY TALES

ARE IGNORANT

AND ARROGANT

AND I AM SICK OF HEARING THEM

From It Doesn't Matter if it has Been Said Before Some Things Bear Repeating a series of Perfomance Installations at Space Available in Seattle, Wa. Presented 10/2010.

In light of the recent media coverage and public outcry during the Steubenville rape case I felt the need to bring this work back out into the world. (If you know a performace or gallery space looking for this sort of work- hit me up).

Also, here is Mercy Is A Warrior. Presented at Seattle Art Museum Remix 06/2011. My co-performer is Tobi Nussbaum in black. More on this piece here Mercy blog
