Material Deviance in Contemporary American Culture
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?”

Rosy Simas Danse
We’ve been working with Rosy Simas Danse since 2016, helping to craft writing that captures the unique qualities of her work with physical movement, time-based media, sound, and objects for both stage and installation. Now we’re thrilled to be adding project/tour management to our work together. As Sheila Regan of City Pages said, “It takes a special kind of performer to bewitch an audience with stillness. Rosy Simas has that gift. An articulate dancer, Simas has the ability to suffuse the smallest movements, or even complete motionlessness, with a captivating aura.”

We’ve been following and loving Minneapolis choreographer Morgan Thorson’s work for a very long time. We’re happy to be working with her as our newest client!
Click below for a glance at her 2010 piece, “Heaven,” which mesmerized us when we saw it in Seattle.
“The Making Room” Portal is Live!
One of our favorite recent projects is The Making Room portal, an online deep-dive into the creative process of master choreographers Bebe Miller and Susan Rethorst.
Grab a cup of coffee and spend some quality time browsing writings, photos, videos, and lots of great reviews from the culminating presentation of “The Making Room” at New York Live Arts in February 2018.
