Dance the Night Away

Like what you see above?  You can bid on my paintings (8x10" framed gouache triptych) at the Mich-Mash Productions Garden Party fundraiser event!  The silent auction/ dance party is happening this Friday, May 11th at 8:30pm in Washington, D.C.  With the purchase of a $25 ticket, you can bid on items in the silent auction, receive two drink tickets and hors d'oerves.  Or for $10 you can BYOB and your groove thang.  If you'll be in D.C., I strongly encourage you to go!  Micheline knows how to throw a party.  Click here to purchase tickets.

The Garden for Wayward Girls

The show went really well! Sorry it's taken me so long to post. Micheline has uploaded a montage of clips from the approximately 25 minute piece onto her website, available here.

I took close-up shots of all of the "Pandora's boxes" I created (used as a metaphor for each dancer's personal discovery and growth), and I will try to post those, too. I am in the midst of a move to Chicago and also bought a new computer! So, things are still a little disorganized.

The Garden for Wayward Girls

Micheline Heal, my friend and fellow Oberlin alumna, is choreographing a beautiful modern dance piece called "The Garden for Wayward Girls". I am flattered that she has asked me to help her with the "static" visual elements of the show- mainly some props (a Pandora's box for each dancer) and set pieces/ installation. It has been really fun to work on so far; the boxes are done (pictures later) and now, with a week left before the performance, I am posting some pictures and drawings to help Micheline and I communicate about the set. She's coming down to Richmond from DC tomorrow to hang out and then take everything back with her. Eeeek! Nervous about how much that needs to be done. Pictures below.

Show information: If you are able to get to DC, I would love to see you at the show! The performances are May 20th at 8pm and May 21st at 3pm and 8pm. Tickets are $10 in advance, The piece will be performed at the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop at 545 7th St. SE, Washington DC. You can learn more about the theater company curating this event here, and view Micheline's website here.
