I am very excited to be working with the wonderful choreographer Alison Chase and her company! Alison and I met this past summer at the Bates Dance Festival.There I got to play for her improv class, and we clicked: our compositional processes are very similar.
Since September, we have been working on a new piece, which now has a name: "Red Weather". The work features seven dancers and me, accompanying the performance with live solo violin and voice. In January we presented a rough version at a work-in-progress showing in NYC, at the APAP conference.
After six months of creating, we're ready to take this show on the road! We have a few shows in the works: one at the end of March in New London, CT at the Garde Theater (read about it here), and one at the South Miami Dade Cultural Center (yep, Miami Florida!) on Sat, April 13th. The choreography is beautiful and the dancers are phenomenal. I can't wait to share this work!
