I am directing a performance of 5 dancers in Nacht van de Nacht in Vlaardingen at October 27 from 20:00 hrs in the Oranjepark in Vlaardingen. I made a piece of four female dancers in white costumes conquer the light pollution (part of Honza Svasek). The female dancers are: Sonia Egner, Ingrun Schnitzler, Clara Burdet and Alice Pons.

I will be in residence in Bergen, Norway working with my performance          collaborator (Terese Longva of Longva+Carpenter, see image above) for 3       months, March-ish through May-ish. I am still looking for a place to live! If you have connections to friends/colleagues in Bergen, will you connect us? I  received a LIAEP Grant for the residency (which means I…

that's an easy answer: when she finds her throughline.

very happy to have discovered the inciting incident of my story - which gives my central character a throughline + motivation, and my pivotal character/antagonist a reason to be in the story besides looking like a 21st century samurai pimp.

this particular study needs a lot of technical development, but i have mastered a major hurdle in developing TYFTB (thank you from…

“How do our own experiences slip out from under the frames we put around ourselves (and put on by others) in order to identify?”

The performance this week at Soapbox confronts identity: expanding, complex, messy, plural.

Boston-based Hayley Morgenstern and Creighton Baxter (quoted above) will perform It Might Get Better, a…

as we all know, art is a lot of hard work. it took me 5 hours to do all the things i needed to shoot short entreactes for my new live-action storyboard TYFTB. there is a character, either fantastical or supernatural TBD, who haunts the hallway in the middle of the night at a mental hospital  - the setting of the movie.

i used to be a sculptor. some of my wood figures were so big that i would work on one side all day and i would have to wait…

Grace Exhibition Space wants to keep initiating discussions around Performance Art.

The term "Performance Art" has come to mean many different things, with an interpretations and uses as wide and vast as the oceans.

How do you differentiate the vastness of the various Performance Art meanings? It can mean the perfornativity of a Mercedes to the performativity of a pinky . . . .

To us, the meaning is specific to a particular art form that we live and present on a regular…

commitment. the word that came to mind when i started watching this Kool: Dancing in My Mind, Robert Wilson's homage to Japanese dancer and choreographer, Suzushi Hanayagi. it also came to mind what the best people who have taught me all said - when you move, move like you mean it and know why you mean it and where you came from.

i am having an email discussion with an artist friend about artist statements. she is a good writer and communicates really well about others' work, but when she brought up the issue of summary/synopsis and i responded "artist statement," things got pretty interesting:

Here is the link to a blog with multiple informations on 'The theater of violent actions presents El Ruído y La Furia' (El Teatro de Acción Violenta presenta El Ruido y la Furia).

This work openly challenge artistic & political representational systems. The 7 performers, mature women without much prior acting experience, manage to fashion an intense & dangerous collective experience. It deals with political violence, communal life, will power & limits…

some days of grief are worse than others - today is pretty bad: today i finished my movie, Indigo Lady A Performance Art Movie (except for tweaking sound) and Mama is not going to see it. i think she would have liked it - she weirdly seemed to have the gene for "getting" avant garde.

on October 5 2011 i was in Nebraska as my mother's backup as she told…
