2nd Performance Tonight!

To continue our debut in style...
Last night was amazing with patrons at the door begging to get in!! Thank you all for coming out and supporting local artists!

Coming tonight? I hope you bought your tickets! Whether you have or haven't, get there by 7:00pm to claim your seat or be put on the waiting list to snag one!!

And remember, the audience gets to vote on their favorite pieces at the end of the show. The artist with the most votes gets 50 free hours of rehearsal space and a concert at Gowanus at a subsidized rate. I don't know about you, but my wallet would SURE appreciate a space to create and a stage to perform on!!!

Performance Tonight!

ATD has their NYC debut performance tonight at 7:30 pm at the Winter Follies Showcase at Gowanus. Tickets are $15 and you can get them through Brown Paper Tickets, or at the door. We will encourage you to buy them online however, as we will surely sell out to a crowd of hungry dance-goers!

Come see an condensed version of After Hours in the Parlour Room, with dancers Katie Ely, Emily Leonard, and Alex Taylor with music by super stellar composer, Sam L. Richards.

In the Kitchen with the familiar

The peppermint bark was the new and unfamiliar territory while the good ol' nachos (Mama style) were the hit of the night with the boys playing games and the girls looking at hipster puppies.

Just another correlation between creating work with new and old methods.

In the Kitchen, literally!

In the spirit of culinary mystery and choreographic risk-taking, I wanted to share with you my latest attempt to make a new dessert, peppermint bark!

In the Studio

So, what's going on with ATD now? Well, I'm glad you asked.

ATD has two performances set up for the 2011 season. First we start in Brooklyn, NY at the Winter Follies concert at Gowanus. We'll be performing a shortened version of After Hours in the Parlour Room, with musical genius from Sam L. Richards. Emily and I welcome Katie Ely as a part of this project which will mark the first ever performance of ATD. After Hours is about the nuances of being a woman while still trying be be lady-like.

The second (only in chronological order) is our performance in San Diego, CA with somebodies dance theater at Southwestern College. This performance will showcase a new work that Emily and I have been working on since November 2010. In the Kitchen (musical composition by David C. Horton) is about what one might do with their spare time after moving to a new city. In our experience as first-time New Yorkers, we found that initially we had a lot of time on our hands, a few cook books, and drastically different grocery stores to find new and old favorites. As with making any new work, we experimented and took risks to make new delicious dishes (formally known as: "Mystery Meals"). This piece represents both the risk taking and experimenting process while fashioning hand made aprons that we designed and constructed ourselves. Yum!

The next work Emily and I are pooling our mind powers to create is the first piece in an evening length work that is derived from With Bated Breath (2010). We're starting with a duet that was very young in its development when performed in the original piece. While the intention is still developing, we'll take a look at two people who live and work together, rely on each other, independently thrive together, and ultimately learn together. We'll post more as this project develops...
