dno dances

So, this morning I recorded a superquick video appeal from the office. Arin and Susan were kind enough to offer to send it out to the Four Eyed Monster’s subscribers. Hopefully this will help with a last push for votes!

I have been working on a video blog series for Misnomer. The idea was conceived over the summer, and the first episode was posted in September. In true video blog form, I’ve been slow to get a second post up, but I have material for another two episodes, and I’m hoping to get them up sometime in the not too distant future.

The concept for the series is to provide a look into a dance performance from the performer’s point of view. I’ve been interviewing the company’s dancers about what it feels like, sounds like, and smells like onstage during specific pieces. Chris’ work is so much about embodiment and being fully present in the work, I’m interested in unpacking exactly what the elements of this “presence” are.

Here’s episode one:

My friend, filmmaker Susan Buice wanted to do a test shoot over the summer for a future video project. She invited me to run backwards through the streets of Brooklyn. Here’s the resulting footage (shot and edited by Arin Crumley):

I am showing my new solo-in-progress at the Cunningham Studios on Sunday Dec. 16th at 5 pm
