“Magnificent Sadness” has been selected for screening at the American Dance Festival’s Dancing For the Camera, June 23–27 2010 in Durham, North Carolina, USA

My recent dance film, “She Sleeps” has been selected to screen as part of the American Dance Festival’s 14th annual Dancing for the Camera: International Festival of Film and Video Dance between July 10-12 2009 at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA.

This work was originally made as part of the “Yours Truly” installation directed by Katrina Rank for the Art of Difference Festival in Melbourne, March 2009. It features dancer Jaye Hayes.

Last night was the first in a series of 3 performances I have planned over the next 10 weeks before I head overseas for a few months. My improvisational performance practice began intermittently in 2002 and gained momentum from 2005 with the formation of The Little Con collective (www.thelittlecon.net.au). This year I have decided to “fulfill my artistic destiny” (thank you Andrew Morrish) and have been intensifying my practice…part of this intensification is to work with duration as a means to see where that will take me/it.

Performed my first duet with Andrew Morrish tonight at “The Little Con”
One audience response: “I nearly peed myself!”
