Thom Yorke Tuesadays speacial edition featuring "A study of things gone wrong!"

Today's edition of Thom Yorke Tuesday is taken from a work that I did earlier this year in New York titled "A study of things gone wrong!" part of the Chronos Project. This work is divided into four sections with two of them featuring Radiohead songs. Most people will only notice one. W'ell get back to that in a second. After the jump I'm going to post directors commentary so that people can get a better understanding for how the artist works.

First i would like to give a very big thank you to the dancers and artistic team who did such a beautiful job in making this happen. Could not have done it without you. Clearly:)

Enjoy!

• Section 1. -Devils(coming up from the ground) This piece could have been easily the best part of the show if we had more time to work out the phrasing and also been able to use a fog machine. Even so, I'm still happy with it.
• Section 2. 5zNY- I wanted to use 5 dancers for this section and do more with live instrumentation. The plan is to make this a D.I.Y. dance and to extend it. There is still a lot more material or "Bsides" that I never got around to setting. Hand claps, stomping and all.
  
• Section 3. Big Trouble/Country loving- A complete. Signed, sealed and delivered. Its in the bag. Something interesting about the duet is that every time we perform it in different venues I always switch the lighting around. Even had a set built for us on tour in Socal.
• Section 4. Twisted Words-The "Bobble heads" and "Mean Girls" section I want to do more with the spacing and change some of the timing but I love the lights that I created for it. Especially at the top of the dance.

Question for you! what Radiohead song did I play backwards during 5zy with my voice looped over?


hmmmm............

Thank you NY!!!

A big THANK YOU to all everyone in New York whom made my trip possible starting with:

Bennyroyce Ronon for bringing me to choreograph for the Chronos Project.

Thanks to my Dancers whom were amazing to work with and i hope that well be able to work again.

Thanks to Dance Theater Workshop for hosting the "Tweet Up" featuring my works and for being such an amazing space with even more amazing people working.

The biggest THANK YOU goes to everyone who came out to support me and my work. This time around I premiered the most honest piece of work that i have ever done which is very much a representation of me, which was scary to do...... I would not be here today if it was not for all of you encouraging me to keep doing what I'm doing. Very pleased to know that everyone thought that my work was "new/orginal and not trying to be like anyone else but inspired by everything". All of the kind words lets me know that Im on the right path and I wanna keep digging and getting evolving.

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!

BIG TROUBLE with special guest........

Im excited to announce that we will be having the East Oakland Dance Crew TURF FEINZ performing in our BIG TROUBLE Chronos Project Fundraiser.

We got the opportunity to see them perform last week at the MOADs "black masculinity" event where we were also did an installation......It was soooo refreshing to see new movement coming out of the bay with dancers that have made up they're own technique. The dancers are all individually gifted movers adding in they're own flavor to whatever they do. Alex and i were tripping about how they were doing damn near pointe work in they're sneakers. Not too mention the sick dance videos that had my ass fiendishly watching the clips because they were all so wonderfully shot, edited and executed. YAK Films represent! The kids from the TURF FEINZE im sure are about to blow the fuck up within the new future. They have already won competitions in Germany, Paris, New York and LA. I would not be too surprised to see them end up on Americas Best Dance Crew.

come support local artist on the rise to help put the SF Bay Area Art scene back on the map where it belongs!!
