Recap

Haven't posted in far too long. Oops.

A recap of dance in my life from the past few months:

- The rest of the Performance Mix went really well with a great, well, mix of performers. My other favorites from the festival were a duet for violin and viola, composed and choreographed by Sigrid Keunen of Brussels, Belgium and JumpCut, a group piece by danceTactics of New York, choreographed by Keith Thompson. The piece by Keunen was a beautiful and even sometimes funny physicalization of the music performed by the dancers, with perfect costumes and set pieces to create a complete aesthetic. Thompson's piece was simply breathtaking. The dancers seemed like they were powered not by their muscles and bones but only by their own breath and moved with effortless fluidity in a way that was still grounded, strong, and masculine.

Once my work with the festival ended, I became swept up directing, co-producing, and costuming 2 pieces at The Tank and designing costumes for a short film and a dance piece. Whew! It's been a crazy 2 1/2 months.

A look at the costumes I worked on for Movement Workshop Group's performance in the Fresh Ground Pepper parade:


Next up: Costumes for The Elephant Man, The Musical in the DC Fringe Festival.

Costuming is great, but I think I need more dancing in my life.
