Happy Holidays
…
Some holiday cheer from Joseph Keckler; his new Talking Beast video is so much fun.
Joseph asked me to be in his video and what fun it was! I’d run around town anytime with this beast posse.

Talking Beast -from Joseph Keckler’s EP, Featured Creatures. Based on the pre-Christian legend that at midnight on (the day now known as) Christmas Eve, animals suddenly acquire the power of speech.

WallCrawlers
Good art day in New York.
Today I caught the opening of Off The Wall -part 2 – Seven Works by Trisha Brown at the Whitney Museum. I was excited to see a staging of Brown‘s famous Walking on the Wall piece. The dancers, in harnesses tethered to a track along the ceiling, performed on the wall!
And as an added bonus Stephen Petronio walked down the exterior wall of the Whitney.
Inspiring.

Shapeshifting
My friend Cori Olinghouse and I continue to work on a project together, a series of experiments in vaudeville and shapeshifting. Our project is a work in progress so I can’t say much yet. Video from our first showing, The Animal Suite, can be seen here. And I will share this sketch….

Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning
I recently finished teaching a digital photography class at an all girls school in Queens. Once a week I would hang out with the ladies and we’d go on photo adventures. Below are some picks from our work together:

Christopher Williams
My friend Christopher, some friends and I organized a photo shoot at the Irish Hunger Memorial last month. The images are to be used to advertise a dance piece, The Voyage of Garbhglas, that Christopher is staging at the memorial in August. I’ll also be designing some costumes for the piece. The model is dancer Michael Ingle who will be performing in the piece. Some of the images I shot:

Grant Worth
Back during Easter-time my friend Grant organized an event – The Easter Glamour Portrait Studio x2 – Spring Forward – The Future of Spring 2010
I assisted in styling the attendees along with the sparkling Destiny Pierce and shimmering Stina Puotinen. Grant then shot portraits of the guests with Polaroid film. Here are some favorites:
