Sarah White received a B.F.A
in dance from the University of Missouri in
Kansas City. For the last five years, she has been living in
New York,
dancing, choreographing and working with various media. She
has enjoyed
working with such people as the lovely Miss Felicia Ballos,
Meg Wolfe, Esse
Aficionado, Jessica Morgan and Juliette Mapp among others. Her
work has been
shown at the 5th Stop Open Studios in Brooklyn and at the Philadelphia
Fringe Festival. Currently, she is in the 2nd year of an Alexander
Technique
TM Teacher Training Program under the aegis of Ann Rodiger and
Balance Arts.
Willa Carroll quotes, "Sport
only preserves the joy of movement, the thought of bodily liberation,
the suspension of practical ends in a completely external distorted
form." --
Theodor Adorno
Theo Angell Born 1968 Portland,
Oregon. Lives and works in New York City and Portland, Oregon.
He attended the Northwest Film and Video Center. His works have
been featured at the Daniel Reich Gallery, the Instanbul Biennial,
Collective Unconscious, and Anthology Film Archives.
Re-imagining the home dance instruction video,
the performance of New
York-based artist Anna Craycroft engenders
a series of contradictions that
question how culture is transmitted from one context to another.
The
electronically synthesized beats and automaton voice are humorously
juxtaposed against the performer1s overtly sexualized movements
and zippered
crotch. Her 3flesh2 colored suit is identifiably Caucasian,
while the three
dances she performs-- Motown, Samba and Ragga--are of the African
Diaspora.
Craycroft says of this work, 3through all this camouflage, the
performer may
be disguised, but her desire to belong is not. Nor are the cultural
specifics of her aspirations.
Heather Kravas lives and makes art in New York
City. Antonija Livingstone
is a gnomadic performing artist who divides her time between
Montreal,
Stockholm and Barcelona. Jason Starkie paints pictures, makes
fiddles and
twirls a mean rope in New York City. After learning cowboy dances
in a
Berlin apartment and attending a childhood friend's wedding
in the nether
regions of Washington State, the three met up in Brooklyn, walked
down to
the corner deli, ingested the counter medicinal, "horny
goat weed" and made
what was to become their first video, "Girlfriend".
Meredith Drum creates personal
and documentary video. This past year, in
collaboration with students from the Bronx Museum, she completed
a
documentary about the revitalisation of Crotona Park and the
surrounding
neighborhoods. This year she hopes to produce a piece about
conservation
efforts at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, a park that is losing
45 acres of
marsh land a year. At the moment she is making a piece about
love and
birds.
Flora Wiegmann relocated to Los Angeles from
NYC to persue her master's
degree in Dance from UCLA. She is interested in the relationship
between
visual art and performance which is a driving force in her practice.
She's
enjoyed being part of numerous projects and performances such
as Art Basel,
ChampionDance, Frisbee Miami, Connect the Dots at Columbia University,
and
an upcoming project for High Desert Test Sites in May.
"Black Box, White Cube" is a collaboration between
filmmaker Drew Heitzler and
dancer/choreographer Flora Wiegmann. This piece explores the
theoretical
and physical implications of two spaces, the black box theater
and the white
cube gallery, through the performance of one dance phrase. Originally
conceived as a dual screen film (shot on 16 mm) it is now reshaped
with the
addition two screens and a live, performing body.
