VIDEO: Make Me Well

On a sunny Sunday in September, my friend and collaborator, Jules Bakshi, and her friend and collaborator, filmmaker Ian Rex Arrow Wolfson, gathered a team of dancers (yours truly included) to create "Make Me Well."

Part public service announcement, part satire, part art film, this is the end result. 



P.S. You can watch this video full-screen through YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwjquThQzQo

Looking forward

Lots of new and exciting things on the horizon...interspersed with working at The Arts Initiative at Columbia University and at Together in Dance.  I'm learning a lot!

Keep an eye out for an Et Cetera Evenings series.

Nightingale and the Rose - thank you!

Last weekend's performance of Nightingale and the Rose, a semi-staged reading that I directed and choreographed, went simply swimmingly.  Thank you so much to everyone who came, and extra special thanks to those who stuck around to offer their wonderfully helpful feedback.

If you came to the show and would like to offer your ideas, feedback, suggestions -

Meanwhile, Jules and I are happily planning the next BeWilder Productions project.  Watch this space for more soon.
