There's an interesting feeling you get when you embark on something that's bigger than yourself. Maybe you're a bit nervous. You spend your time prepping by biting your nails and over thinking. You get a bit anxious. You repeatedly scratch at the same spot on your forearm, thinking, “my forearm doesn’t even itch.” You laugh anxiously at anything anyone says even if it's not supposed to be remotely comical. You smile nervously and you blink too much. Even your heart
Here is the performance to camera work we made. They were both shot with Gemma's stills camera and we hope to develop these ideas into something else perhaps with a better camera and a bigger road trip. Gemma was attempting to 'become America(n)' by placing herself within an American landscape rather than in front of it, we were interested in the frame that is exclusive and what that means. We like the way the sound on the video sometimes infiltrates
Huwaida has a recurring dream that has been keeping her up for many nights now, where she comes out in a swimsuit and a hijab (Muslim head scarf for women)... perhaps it is nerves about her match-made engagement, or the anxiety form her brother who is trying to break the engagement. Meanwhile, Kamal, her father, is rejoicing the engagement, Little doe she know, everything is about to change in this East-Meets-West mayhem of a comedy. Meet the Fawzi family, a
Keith's director's notes for Turbulence.....for now: Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine revealed how many of us have prioritized human rights issues (and identity politics) at the expense of economic injustice and more lasting structural change. I set out, over two years ago, to challenge my own ignorance about financialization, about the roots of economic turbulence, and to sharpen my understanding of extreme wealth disparity. The mythological association of capitalism to democracy to freedom must be troubled, contested, and ultimately destroyed.
Hey want to see some great video of what we are working on and get some fabulous booty while you are at it? We have just launched our Kickstarter campaign and we need your support to get Homo File off the ground. In only 1 week we have 25 backers and are $3713 away from our $5000 goal. If you can help us support his amazing project in this first stage you will also be helping to make it possible
way way way back in APRIL (!!!!!!!!), Emily Leap and I sat down and wrote a letter to the three people who would later be our Portland guest artists for the June Residency and the TBA premiere that's happening in 2 weeks. We wanted to give them some kind of something that would let them start to understand us and get let in on some of the things this project has been doing and thinking about. It's now last August,
So, in Portland this past June, alot happened. One of our Portland guest artists, Roya Amirsoleymani, who also coordinated the symposium "Bodies, Identities and Alternative Economies" reflects here: Turbulent Thoughts and also, I (Jesse) wrote some...err...colorful reflections about the experiences of being there: The Odd Sensation of Luxury
So SF misses Angela Mattox, yes. But she's doing kick-ass work making PICA (and by extension, the Portland arts community) richer and better. She also has been in dialogue with us about Turbulence almost since the beginning of it really picking up steam. Here's a little ditty that was an interview in Portland Mothly, about Keith/the project/working with Angela: Can you give me the brief summary of Turbulence? What will it be like from the experience of the audience? And
So...Turbulence has become - among things - the accumulation of conversations, dreams, arguments, and ideas of not just Keith and the core collaborators, but also those of our friends and colleagues. When folks come to look at what we're making, discourse explodes. We wanted to share some of that with ya'll. Here's a conversation between SF dancer and friend-to-many-of-us, Liz Tenuto, and Keith, right after the December 2011 showings at CounterPULSE: LIZ My biggest question about the piece was whether the
Oh no...I really don't want to do this. But since I'm on my Levi's trip, how can I resist. Here's a vintage commercial for the jeans with Bruce Willis. I really don't know what to say...the dancing, roller skating, car washing...blues music. Oy. http://youtu.be/Fb2KVoUnT8U
My week with Bruce turned into something I never could've imagined. I don't want to say too much, because my brain is a bit fried and I don't want to give away anything about our event on Monday. But here's my best representation of the "Born in the USA" album cover. I can say that the Levi's are only marginally more comfortable after a week of non-stop wearing. That was really the hardest part of my whole week. I wanted
