1. i've got some exciting news to share... daniel burkholder and i are performing this weekend. we're doing a new duo piece called "unmapped," which blurs the line between dancer and musician. which means i have to be a dancer (in costume and stuff) - and my poor guitar will be tossed back and forth and generally treated in ways that a fine musical instrument should not be treated (good thing it's not a fine instrument).
anyway, it's a great big leap into the unkown for me, and i think makes for some compelling work -- but i'd love for you to be the judge of that... we're performing as part of an unfortunately named program called "dance jam" at H Street Playhouse. we're sharing the evening with a company from Massachusetts and a company from France. The Germans had visa problems... so it's just the three of us... but still worth checking out, i promise.
