on the radio this sat

hey folks.

My new Ovation and Sundance award winning producer David Molina was interviewed for a local bay area radio station last week where he played the new track that we made for the Lorraine Hansbury Theatres annual gala. I was commissioned to make a solo based on the most famous monolouge from A raisin in the Sun. David and I were linked together to make the music that i had heard in my head. While we were creating the solo the results where more than i could have asked for. I felt like i was in a band or something, talking to david about the time signatures, textures and sounds that i wanted to have and he delivered like a G.

The broadcast will air this Saturday at 6:30pm pst time on KPFA 94.1 or www.kpfa.org

New Music from the solo Man Redefined

Man redefined is a radical remix of an old classic monologue from the play A Rasin in The Sun. I was asked to choreograph a solo to the famous monologue by the Lorraine Hansbury Theatre and this time around I decided to not show the movement which is beautiful but instead let you listen to the music.

After the performance at the Ritz i had the pleasure of meeting Lorraines Hansburys sister whom i asked of she liked what i had done with the monologue. Her opinion was the one that mattered the most to me because shes so close to play and to my surprise she gave my rendition her blessing. She told me that she can feel the drama and liked the choices that i had made with the dance and the music. Highlight of my night. I have to post pics too of what she had on because it was something feirce!


This is dedicated to all you who came to the Gala or the other performances at the Community Music Center in San Francisco.
