Lana Del Ray at Amobea Music SF

So...........today I went to the Lana Del Ray show at Amobea music on Haight Street San Francisco and I can tell you first hand that this bitch is the real deal. She was onstage with a micophone and one pianist and killed it. All of her haters can eat a bowl of dicks because she's more talented than most artist out there today and here is why.

• She has a subdued presence about her which captures the viewer. Fairy like(?)
  
• Super hot in person
  
• really hot in person
• Humble

Check the videos below to see for yourself what the hell I'm talking about.


Lana if you need a choreographer or movement coach holla at your boy!

Happy New Years.

This is it!

Hey y'all.

I want to start off by saying a big Thank You to everyone that has supported my work. Not in a million years would I think that people would enjoy my off the wall ideas. I admit and I know that I have had a very good run. I’ve been very blessed and fortunate in so many ways. In a lot of ways I have far exceeded my own personal expectations. I’ve got to work with some of the best artist in the game that I used to look up to as a kid and gain they’re respect. Not just that but the amazing opportunities that I have had with all of the outlets to get my work out there, it has been a dream come true and im very grateful.

Looking back on what I have done its cool to know that I have done it all on my own terms but increasingly I have been feeling weird about the current direction that I am going in. For obvious reasons I feel that the type of work that I do is not suited for the Concert Dance world anymore. Friends are always asking me about why don’t I try to Choreograph for “so and such company” and really put my work out there? These are real valid questions being asked to someone who is trying to make a living directing/choreographing. I’ve never had an answer aside the fact that I don’t care to work with them because I wouldn’t gain anything from it. I have nothing to prove to anyone and putting on my resume that I worked with “X” company means nothing to me which is not a healthy attitude. Far too long have I felt like a Dog trying to be a Cat and that the ideas that I come up with along with the type of collaborations that I want to pursue the Concert Dance World will no longer suffice for me. If your idea “innovation” is presenting works 25 years old with no social relevance this is not the place for me. I also don’t believe in the Dogmatic institutions any longer. I don’t believe in the pay scale or lack of. With all of the hard work that we all put into the creation and getting so little in return aside from performance opportunities its not worth it for me. Maybe when I was younger it was cool but a dream doesn’t pay the bills. As a Freelancer you cant live on performance opportunities and I'm bored with it all. So with all of this said I am leaving the Concert World behind. I am officially retiring from Choreographing, Directing, and Performing Concert Dance aside from current obligations that I must fulfill.


This news does not mean that I will stop creating. If anything I will be creating more with my newfound focus on the dance music video arts collaborative titled The Artist Group San Francisco (TAGsf). I’ve worked for four years building a name for the brand and myself. Now we have an impressive resume and all of the pieces in places to move forward. The evolution of TAGsf will now include events, hosting events, festivals and film. Soon you will be seeing us in festivals like Coachella, collaborating with artist like Flying Lotus or the Odd Future. TAGsf will be making photography books, DVDS and music while o performing in events for Google or FaceBook. I will be bringing in my resources of top-notch artist and performers from all different genres on a consistent basis. I’m very excited for the future and will use whatever time we have left to focus on the work that I love doing.



Keep your eyes peeled because i will be announcing our first event real soon.




peace.

Bdiddy in the city

Hey guys!

This month Im traveling to New York for a couple different projects and i have a lil something for everyone.

April 16th is the world premiere of the Squirrel Dance at Dance Theater Workshop. Because space is limited and tickets are hard to get ill be posting the video online right here on this blog the same day so that everyone can enjoy the master piece that is the Squirrel Dance.

April 22-24th is the Chronos Project. Im one of the choreographers for the show and im giving the world premiere of A STUDY OF THINGS GONE WRONG. This marks my 1st 20min piece that is broken down into 4 sections, all under the influence of time. "A study" is a good year and some change in the making. A lot of the sections has to do with what interested and influenced me at the time. There are elements of breaking, european contemp, ballet and has a good sense of humor. This dance really does have something for everyone sprinkled about. You like good interesting movement and great dancers? We got you. You like, tricks, dope lighting, the SF fashion brand HUF? We got you? You like bands such as Grizzly Bear and of course RADIOHEAD.....we got you. Most importantly is that the movement is based upon a clear theme and all of you will be going on a mind bending journey that i created for you. I encourage you to bring non dancer friends because i promise that they will end up leaving with a new appreciation of the arts and how much fun it can be.


Hola!!!!
