Upcoming shows!

Junichi gets around as a dancer, most recently with Portland Ballet getting his classical on.  On the 24th he shows his contemporary choreography.  Cellist Kristen Miller has stunning technique and an original modern sound.   I am sneaking in for an improv with them because how could I stop myself?

In the year or so I have been doing research on surveillance, two different performance pieces came of it. One, Insensor, will premiere at Windhover in July (see next entry), but another piece emerged alongside it. This is what I will perform at DFWC.  It's interactive and chaotic and I'm looking forward to performing it at this diverse festival. Time of performance will be posted soon.

Summer concerts at Windhover are a staple in these parts, and I'm thrilled this year to be presenting two works on the outdoor stage, Invisible Stories (co-created and performed by Kate Tarlow Morgan) and  Insensor.  Dancers include Kristen Calder, Jade Cipolla, Nicole Gariepy, Kate Tarlow Morgan, and Sarah Slifer Swift.

Morton Feldman's Three Voices with dancers

Friday January 17 7:30 PM Trident Gallery 189 Main St. Gloucester, MA Many years ago a composer friend of mine, Andrea Fontemaggi, gave me a copy of Morton Feldman's Three Voices for Joan La Barbara.  He said, "Make sure you have enough time to sit and listen to the whole thing.  Sit right in the middle of the speakers for the best sound." And I think he may have encouraged me not to move!  That may have been just how I felt when I listened to it.  I couldn't move.  I was transfixed by the movement of the sound. When Matt Swift (Trident Gallery) asked me to curate performance in agreement with his Winter exhibition, about creating a space for stillness and reflection, I immediately thought of this piece...  with dance. I'm breaking my history of stillness with the piece and joining in the movement of the sound, to create a quiet and powerful score that creates space for listening and reflecting as well as viewing. http://www.tridentgallery.com/
