CHICK INFLUENZA - TURN THE PAGE

It's the end of a era. The beginning of a new book.

So much love for these amazing beings - fabulous, strong women and phenomenal artists all around. On days when I really doubt myself as an artist I take a look around at the company I keep and think to myself - I must not suck too much, these guys keep playing with me...

FREEWAY GARDEN PARTY NO. 1

HERE/NOW

Open Flight Studio (OFS), currently a dance/movement art-based research/development, education, rehearsal and performance space located in the University District, hosts the engaging quarterly Dance and Music improvisation-based performance program HERE/NOW. The program's format and inherent creative dynamics should prove to be of great value to its participants, those in attendance, as well as the greater art community.

For this series, eight movement artists are paired with eight sound artists, at random through audience selection, to improvise a new 8 minute work.

The musicians and dancers are curated separately and no one knows who else is going to be there really...what was funny to me about this installment is that it was comprised of many musicians that I not only know, but have great history with. Samantha Boshnack, Trey Gunn, Paurl Walsh, and Paul Kikuchi are all artists that I revere and respect immensely and it was awesome to share an evening with them and the other artists who participated.

TINY BANQUET NO.1

FIRST TIME

One fine Double Yoko rehearsal we decided to swap instruments...this is my very first time ever playing a violin. I have watched Paris Hurley, a master violinist who has played her entire life, play this instrument for literally hundreds of hours over the last 6 years. The majority of that time playing face to face, across from each other...and I've never once thought to play it before this day. I was totally enamored with watching the strings vibrate while I played. Instruments are crazy things.
