December … I am invited to return as a “guest
of honor” to the dance company I co-founded & co-directed for ten years.
Circle Modern Dance – Knoxville TN is having its 25th Anniversary
celebration this year. I return to perform in the annual winter concert Modern
Dance / Primitive Light at the beautiful Laurel Theatre.
I bring a live performance of RAW-(Material).
Six performances – each one utilizing the material developed throughout the
project so far in a ten-minute in-the-moment composition.

January – NYC – Transart Institute Winter
Residency.
My MFA peer Andrea Spaziani curates an event
of temporal mayhem & magic in The Gym at Judson Church – title:
SPACEBODIES.
As a live performance for SpaceBodies, I
proposed to continue my exploration of the Raw Materials of Self in the context
of Light & Space as interrogation of Self - a naked body in complete
blackness, searching the emptiness of space with movement & sound.
Dispersed throughout the environment are sources of light (flashlights, matches,
candles etc), which are each engaged briefly as a tool for self-illumination.

February
Every year in the brutal New England winter,
a multitude of performers, musicians, dancers and video projection artists
invade a small town in Massachusetts and perform a series of improvised
collaborations … this is XFEST!
In this collaborative
improvisation, I use layers of clothing to symbolize the peeling off of layers
of skin.
