2015 - 2016
Jasmine and I are collaborating in the studio as a dancer interested in visual art and a visual artist interested in dance. This is a mash up. We are returning to motifs developed during my series 'Pittsburgh Performance Actions', when we first began to work together, but expanding and creating new characters and ideas to emerge from our exploration. The character being developed will become one of the main, central characters in an upcoming long-form cinematic video piece, for release in spring 2016 with a world debut in Pittsburgh, PA at Pittsburgh Filmmakers Melwood Theater. I will be creating these character studies with artists and performers that are interested in working with me. Please send a note if that is you. There are many possible roles I need to fill. The work is funded by the Heinz Endowment and the Pittsburgh Foundation, under the Investing in Professional Artist Residency Grant, 2015. The residency is with Pittsburgh Filmmakers. The work is still untitled, so stay tuned and more is coming. If we are alive together in extraordinary times, why would we not make extraordinary work together?
