"Apartment Show" -- Upcoming Dance Performance Friday, June 24th and Saturday, June 25th

Hey ...

Sorry for being a deadbeat with the blogging -- certainly not for lack of ongoings, just been a li'l neglectful of the ol' non-facebook self-promotion.

Next month, I'll be performing new work by Todd Henry. Our venue? A cozy apartment in a high rise building in NYC's Hell's Kitchen. And lucky you ... it's on the 22nd floor! The views are spectacular - I can only hope we keep everyone's attention.

It's been a learning experience for me, adapting movement to a confined space. I'm such a traveler, as a rule, and having to project a strong energy from my space, without the freedom of flinging myself across the room has been a beneficial lesson for me so far.

I'll also be reading some of Todd's beautiful poetry ...

Friday, June 24th / Saturday, June 25th
"Apartment Show"
400 West 43rd St. @ 9th Avenue
8:30pm (both nights)
Choreography by Todd Henry

1 day. 1 rehearsal. countless props. 17 cast & crew. 6 pizzas. 16 takes. 1 continuous shot.

Last month, I was invited to join my good friends, Belt, in the creation of their newest music video.

"My Kinda Girl" is the latest single off their forthcoming album, Disquietude.

Shot at Paul Vincent Studios in Hoboken, we happily accepted the challenge to get all of these rapid transitions in place - in one shot - and I'm proud to reveal its success.

Everyone was in great spirits, and we had as much fun as it appears. And I made a lot of new friends born in the mid to late '80's.

Enjoy!

Also! I will be dancing with WOBBLE at the CD release party for Belt on April 22nd -

Last weekend, I was sweetly serenaded by the man of my 15 year-old dreams ... tantric yogi-bass-rockin'-Policeman-extraordinaire ...STING!
My friend Courtney was given 2 fancy amex tickets by her bosses and was generous enough to bring me along. Yaaaay rich bosses!

You guys, seriously. Seriously. My mouth was gaped for the first 10 minutes. Then I was just giggling for a while. Then I kinda calmed down .. then more giggling. Then a little crying. Then I mighta blacked out for a minute (check with Courtney). Then some really bad singing along*

Then I just enjoyed. I'll admit I had my doubts whether or not he could seamlessly climb that scale after all these years ... but he f'n nailed it. Those rasp-sexy chords have aged gorgeously.

There were a few details I wasn't too gushy to overlook -- I think he needed a few more back-up singers (or me, sober), a pedal steel for his country song (or not keep it in the set) and he took waaay too long to showcase his phenomenal keys player. But overall ...  a great performance.

We made our way down to the floor in time for the encores:
sigh...damn. is what I have to say about that view.

I tried to get some good pics, but, my feeble digital camera didn't mix well with the ever-shifting stage lights.
Ah well. You should go see for yourself one day anyway.
