New Videos! Rehearsal 10/25 at Topaz

Here are some new vids from our work on the 25th at Topaz. As you can see, we're using the general structure of "jumping around from section to section and trying to fit everything in". This was all in about a three hour period - touching on the main (or, most in focus right now) aspects of the piece. Enjoy!

Work on Muerte Chiquita:



Work on the MC Duet:



Julia's Twisting (the beginning of a new section?:



The Unison Phrase:



Collage of the Googlism Gestures:



Adventures in Lifting:


as always, feedback welcome!

Webvid 7b Rehearsal 10/18 @ Chez Bushwick: Googlisms

Here's some footage of our use of the structure of "Googlisms" as a choreographic structure. Specifically, we worked on the men's movements: "a googlism for after", and the women's: "a googlism for existing strongly".

Webvid 7a Rehearsal 10/18 @ Chez Bushwick: The Mens

Working on Variation #4 (the mens) for the main unison phrase

WebVid 6c - Unison Phrase and Variations

Here's the unison phrase (and three main variations) we're working with from our rehearsal 10/11 at Topaz.

Long awaited...WebVid #5a! (Rehearsal 10/4 @ DNA)

Sorry this has taken me a while to post!

Here's our work on the "Muerte Chiquita" section of the dance.  This video shows our improv and then excerpts of the following discussion we had.  For the piece, this section will be performed by Julia, Cristina, and Larissa, but for the sake of dividing up groups for separate rehearsals i've been building it with JPT and Xtina, and then they teach it to Larissa at a rehearsal when everyone's present.

Enjoy!

Webvid 4a - Dueling Air Guitars at Topaz Arts (9/27)

Check it out!

Webvid 3 - Studio Time @ Topaz Arts

Hey all,
Here's the latest - sorry it took a while to get up - something was afloat with youtube, so this is posted on blip.tv. Anyway.
I'm still feeling out what's the best format and approach for showing this footage, so if you have an opinion about what you'd like to see (voice overs v. just pure footage, evolutions v. final products, etc.) please let me know!

Jonathan got some great footage yesterday from our two group rehearsals; i'll try to have it up by tomorrow!

WebVid 2 - Studio Time @ Topaz Arts

Sorry for the delay - it's been a busy week!
Here's the vid for my studio time last Wed. On Saturday we worked on the phrase I was working on at Chez Bushwick, but sadly we were without cameraman, so I can't really show you. We also did some development work on "13 variations on a car crash" and some of the other spots.

The AOMC business team also met for the first time to plan our fundraising/community building/fun having plan of attack. More on that later.

As a side note, i'm down one male dancer and, as always, they're in short supply and i'm somewhat hesitant to go running out to all the men of new york and offer it to them simply because of their gender. Anyone interested?

WebVid1 - StudioTime at Chez Bushwick

The Hypermedia archiving process is back up and running!

Since we'll be filming all the rehearsals and studio times (Jonathan Stromberg is joining the collective as our new cameraman) like we did for "The What's Left Over After", I'm going to try to post a little video for each one. Super rough edit - just so you can start to know some of the movement we're working with. Enjoy!
