A.O.’s Production Blog: the project starts

I’m back, and ready to dive in with you and bring you up to date on this new project/piece/film/thing that i’ve been working on. I’ve been working with my company, the A.O. Movement Collective, since the beginning of September on a new piece. At first, we weren’t sure whether we wanted to be making a piece for the stage, or for film, but we decided that we’d make the film version first (which i’m hoping will be feature-length when all’s said and done) and at the same time be thinking/making about how it would work on stage.

Well it’s lovely to meet you too. (Sarah A.O. joins Move the Frame)

Hello there!

I’m Sarah A.O. – Anna has been kind enough to invite me to blog on Move the Frame on a regular basis. So, yes, i’m thrilled to be here! I guess you could say i’m a dance blogger. You could also say that i’m a choreographer, and dancefilm-maker, as well as newmedia lover/developer. You could also say that I am a lumberjack, but you, my friend, would be wrong on that last one. Since Anna approached me about writing for her blog, i’ve been thinking about how to structure my time and space here. Do i blog theory, or about performances and screenings, or maybe turn my attention to the economics of dancefilm versus performance? I find them all vast and interesting, but luckily there’s a fairly easy answer already in place. Continue reading

On Wednesday, Jan 28th I will be co-hosting the first Artist Salon at Chez Bushwick with choreographer and media artist Jonah Bokaer about the influence of video art on live performance.

Amy Greenfield’s CLUB MIDNIGHT: FLESH INTO LIGHT

Amy Greenfield is an award-winning film-maker and cinedance pioneer.

The result is a true multi-media feast for the senses. Continue reading

Second, Yanira Castro is making a new duet for private performances in your bathroom, and it is being choreographed, in part, on Twitter. Continue reading

Recent viewings of highly effective intermedia performances

This weekend I was involved in a couple of showcase events for the APAP conference (Association of Performing Arts Presenters) here in New York. We organized two showcases this year for two groups of artists we represent, and I was happy to see that there were several companies: Bridgman/Packer Dance, Kinodance, Jonah Bokaer, and Troika Ranch that are integrating media in highly effective ways in their work. A couple of them I had known for a long time but never seen live, so this was a great opportunity to look at intermedia performance again with fresh eyes.
