The new food pyramid of dance: a creative plate
Picture it now: there is a plate on the table in front of you, full of creative, Hotel-in-a-Bottle-icious food to eat. A quarter of that plate has been inspired by text (thank you, Haruki Murakami!) A second quarter has been inspired by video imagery and design (thanks again, HM, and cheers to Mark and Dawn at Troika Ranch who made design possible for me!) Quarter #3 of that plate has been inspired by dancers' experiences, interests, and improvisations (props to

Join us for an evening of Butoh Dialogues with performances by KATSURA Kan and Vangeline.
We are very excited for Vangeline (NYC) to open for KATSURA Kan's Oracle & Enigma with her solo "Spectral," on Feb 24th and 25th 2012. These two performances together will premiere diverse interpretations of the avant-guard body expression of "Butoh." The Butoh work has been described as the "Dance of Darkness," or the "Dance of the Dark Soul." The definition of Butoh is controversial and by its very nature defies definition. Vangeline approaches this work with a desire to transform. Butoh for

In the previous post, we made centipede yogurt stew. Yum! Now onto the video portion. Except, maybe we're not talking about a plate of food anymore. Maybe we're discussing a table with legs sharply angled away from the center... When I set out to integrate video with dance, I had this idea in my head that I would let inspiration come only from video - that somehow there was supposed to be ONE foundation in the work, end of story.

VIDEO #2 - habit, 8 years is life to be lived rather than mulled over or dreamed about? do we exist among or against each other in a brutal adventure, to which we must by our actions give meaning? is our direct experience our only guide?

Quarter 3: The music of Murakami
If Murakami's works came to life, and you could suddenly take a stroll through them, chances are music would be everywhere. Chauffeured in a car, you would hear "the classical strains of Chopin." In the bathroom of Denny's, Hall & Oates' I can't go for that would be playing. And jazz would fit into the small spaces everywhere else. I knew when I started this piece, music would figure in significantly to it, and my musical selections might not match

Alexander McQueen is dead, long live the McQueen
From Savage Beauty: pg 17 "As a human being, he was far more complex, elusive and indeed more magical than any reductive media incarnation." pg 18 "...Rather than waiting for someone to disappoint he provokes them into a hostile reaction which confirms his worst suspicions and justifies his own behavior." pg 19 "It had very little to do with the clothes and more to do with him as a person. And it's fundamentally true of anybody. Any interest in the
