Matis - dancing, guitar abuse, and more - this weekend!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #6 of 44 |
dear friends and family,

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.

DISCOUNT PRICES FOR YOU - Also, mention that you are a dance or theater professional and pay only $15 to come see the show.

here's all the details:

3. new audio to download:  you can hear a new piece by Cameron and me, "i saw you" -- here's a variety of ways to get recording:

 a. subscribe to the podcast: paste this feed address into iTunes or other podcatching software: http://feeds.feedburner.com/WhatsMyName

 b. if you're not into the podcasting thing, you can grab the file here:
http://dcic.alkem.org/JM_podcasts/i%20saw%20you%20-%20rough%20mix%20v1.mp3

 c. or visit the blog, and at the end of the post called "i saw you" click on the link that says "link" -- that takes you to the audio file.

3. i have a variety of upcoming shows... they're listed in the "upcoming events" sidebar on the blog. please take note of Apr 30 in Baltimore... Cameron will be performing "Sport Utility Vehicle."

i hope you can make it out to H Street Playhouse this weekend... you might want to catch this piece before i come to my senses and refuse to dance in public ;-)

I hope you're enjoying the springtime, and happy Easter, Passover and the anniversary of DC Emancipation!

ps. cameron and i are moving on april 22. if you'd like to help, we sure could use a hand (or six). it will be the most fun ever. really.
