Kingfishers
Kingfishers is an original concept based on an ancient myth about alcyone, the daughter of zeus and hera. she was betrothed to Ares, but was very unhappy and decided to visit earth and fell in love with a mortal named Ceyx. this version of the story is a modern myth so when alcyone came from olympus, she ended up in modern day coney island. long story short, the gods get angry that she falls in love with a mortal and so they kill him when he's off at sea by summoning the kraken and in the end she chooses to die and be with him in the afterlife than to live a privileged life as a goddess. it is a very beautiful story, especially when it is told solely through movement and dance (that is correct, no dialogue). the beginning of the show moved kind of slowly, but it was necessary to introduce the characters and relationships. it picked up soon though and became a beautiful contemporary dance piece. some of the performers were actors who dance, and the rest were dancers. they moved well as a company, but you can certainly tell the difference in who is an actor and who is a dancer. without the actors the show might have seemed a little flat, but they brought life and passion into the dancing. here are some of my favorite photos...

The Salvage Yard
i know it has been a while, but that does not mean i have not been working (trust me, i have been...)! i have been working the last few months at the delaware center for the contemporary arts here in wilmington, delaware and it has provided me with the opportunity to build my portfolio and work for yet another non-profit arts organization. i have also been fortunate to get my feet wet with marketing for an organization with this opportunity, as well. i will be posting some of those projects here as well.
for now, i would like to share with you all some photos of musician barrett johnson. she just moved to nashville, tennessee to continue her career in music and i was fortunate enough to shoot some promotional materials for her. this is the first time these have been seen and i am thrilled to bring them to you!
best of luck to you, Barrett! make sure you all check out and like her page on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/barrettjohnsonmusic?ref=br_tf!

The Aliens
the play takes place in a back alley behind a coffeehouse in vermont. two professional slackers, kj and jasper, spend their days there just hanging out while a new kid who just started working at the coffeehouse, evan, tries to get them to leave. in the end, kj and jasper take evan under their collective wing and makes for an unlikely friendship between the three men. it is a show about music and art; it even draws it's title from the poet charles bukowski, whom the two slackers quote throughout.
these are some of the photos i took as pre-press for the production. enjoy!
in other news, A Change Gon' Come is being remounted for harriet tubman's centennial kick-off performance at the unity church of gaithersburg on february 8, 2013. i will, of course, be reprising my role as the overseer. more details to follow! can't wait to be with my family again!
