We’re excited for the launch of How Dancing is Built: The Making of In A Rhythm, a free e-book sharing the choreographic process behind Bebe Miller Company‘s evening-length dance work, “In A Rhythm” (2017). Hope you enjoy, and please share far and wide!

It was an honor and a thrill to both work on and witness the premiere of Morgan Thorson’s Public Love, a dance/music collaboration with Low’s Alan Sparhawk and a superstar lineup of dance artists. Congratulations to all! Next stop, the Maui Arts & Cultural Center in March 2019!

We helped strategize and manage two separate Kickstarter campaigns over the past few weeks, and we’re so happy that both not only reached their goals, but went above and beyond them! Congrats to Peggy Piacenza and Morgan Thorson, and thanks to all for your support of these great projects. It takes a village, as they say.

This weekend is the last performance of Bebe Miller Company’s In A Rhythm, at Middlebury College in Vermont. Bittersweet! It’s been an incredible experience to be part of and witness the creation of this piece that premiered November 2017. Onto the next!

Happy to help produce another concert with Gamelan Pacifica, the second in a series of ongoing collaborations with two remarkable Javanese artists, Ki Midiyanto and Heni Savitri.

Wow. What a thrill to project-manage the rare beauty that was Relations, two nights of improvisation with Ishmael Houston-Jones, Ralph Lemon, and Bebe Miller, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. Thanks to all who helped make it happen, and those who attended!

It’s good to be working to support the arts both internationally and in our own backyard. Happy to be on the board of the Arts & Cultural Alliance of Newport County!

Check out this new excerpt video of Alice Gosti‘s Material Deviance in Contemporary American Culture. We were happy to have helped Alice get funding to support this very cool project, which asked: “Do objects imbued with so much of our worth start to take over and take on a life of their own?”
