- Jody Oberfelder Dance
For the last three weeks I have been creating 30 second video teasers for Jody Oberfelder Dance promoting THROB, their upcoming show at Abrons Art Center. info link here
Stay tuned for the final teaser on Wednesday, which will be a re-edited compilation of footage from these 3 videos plus a few other scenes thrown in.
Here they are in order:
- Newer Video Promos
This week, 2 of my new short video promos were released on the internet.
The first, a weekley buildup of a ~2 minute screendance/promo hybrid video released in three ~30 second sections promoting Jody Oberfelder Dance’s upcoming show at Abrons Art Center:
The second, a profile video of Chef Dawn for her just launched website, www.dawnsdish.com designed by The Notion Collective:
- From Playboy to the Bible at Wordstock
My short film “The Body Show: How to Boil and Egg,” is part of a panel discussion at Wordstock, an annual literary festival in Portland, Oregon. ”The Body Show” was my last project started while living in Portland that I literally finished on the train while moving to NYC. In the near future, my collaborator Nora Robertson and I plan on creating a series of short videos based off of a collection of Nora’s poems.
Check it out if you’re in Portland this weekend:

”How to Boil and Egg” trailer:
- Check Your Body at the Door
Last night was the premiere of “Check Your Body at the Door,” the documentary that I have spent the last month escorting through the finish line. I mastered the DVD, provided general quality control, and was in charge of the duplication process. I definitely enjoyed the fruit of my labor seeing a great film about the 90’s “golden era” of underground house dancing to a sold out and lively crowd. It was great to be part of the team that brought this film to fruition and an extra bonus to meet some of the dancers.

- August News
August was a crazy month for me. I was gone from NYC for over a month!
First I helped produce a new screendance with Li Chiao-Ping and fellow Notion Collective partner Michael Eckblad. We are adapting Chiao-Ping’s staged performance “Re:Joyce,” a piece that is about her mother coming to the US from China to make a beter life for their family.
Then I attended Farmwork, an annual artist residency near Madison Wisconsin. I’ve attended off and on for a about 6 years, but this time seemed notably more regenerative. Possibly it was the contrast of my new life in NYC to nature surrounded Wisconsin.
Right after Farmwork I jumped into the editing and color grading of “Circling,” a new screendance featuring legendary NYC choreographer Sally Gross produced and directed by Douglas Rosenberg.
Below is a still from “Circling”

- This trailer was created to generate excitement for the premiere of "The Body Show," a short video I created with my good friend Nora Robertson. An experimental "Video Poem" that we adapted from Nora's Pushcart nominated poem "How to Boil an Egg." We hope to get funding to create a series of video shorts from other poems in her "Body Making Cookery" collection!Space Garbage was one of my favorite multimedia dance pieces I made as co-director of LizzieMoves Dance Co. Created while in residence at The Garage in San Francisco. The full length 60 minute show was performed in SF, and toured to NYC - all to sold out audiences! You can see documentation of the performances in the VIDEOS section of my sight.Thie following is just the beginning and is a work in progress of my soon to be wonderful Color Grading Reel. Music is by the charming Portland Oregon band Radiation City.
