I am still high off of an abundance of black joy!  I think I need to find my way to a Chocolate City more often.  Houston certainly delivered, and the cut-up was real.  I've been throughly inspired and have three projects on the brain as a kind of movement suite:

  1. THE ELECTRIC SLIDE + OTHER SACRED GEOMETRIES (cont.)

    • Interactive performance using motion capture technology

    • The collected data to used to develop 3-D printed sculpture, color field prints and a choreographic alphabet.

    • Intentionally inter/cross-generational

  2. Dancing With The Door

    • Stanley Whitney and David Hammons are old friends.

    • My dealer used to be Stanley's Studio Manager and shared an anecdote from a story he told her.  Apparently, before David and Stanley would go out, they would practice their dance moves with a door.

    • I would like to make a short film in the field behind my house with a door installed as a sculptural object.  Prof. Trent Williams, Jr. is open to choreographing a piece using the object with Big Brave Man by Darius Scott as the soundtrack. 

  3. SITCHOASSDOWN

    • In addition to popular culture and consumerism, my practice is also interested in exploring notions of ability.

    • I hope to develop a sitting dance performance, because sometimes on the sidelines, is where you get your life.
