Artist in Residence Summer 2010 Residency Application Deadline: October 1 at 5pm PST Residency Period: April 1, 2010- July 31, 2010 Performances: August 5-7, 2010 Late or incomplete Applications will not be accepted The CounterPULSE Artist in Residence Program consists of a four-month residency during which two local bay area artists or companies develop and perform new work. The AIR program has evolved in direct response to the needs of artists and is designed to offer maximum support for experimentation
I am humbly accepting of the opportunity to participate in the 2010 CounterPULSE AIR program! I titled my first posting Begin Again because I am thrilled to have just finished a piece (in November) and have support in place to immediately begin the process once again (in December) to share and expand my love for choreographing! My 1st rehearsal was actually on Monday December 14th. I came away feeling excited and hopeful as the space just felt so nurturing and productive!
I am both inspired by and gracious for the opportunity to be a Winter Artist in Residence at CounterPULSE. I have been creating work for over 13 years and realize, that just as in life, there is never a time that an artist does not need support. The moment I stepped into the studio for my first rehearsal I knew I was standing on fertile ground that would help nurture and hone my creativity while working on this piece. What
Writing that title makes me remember my self-scripting teacher in undergrad, Rosemary Quinn, and how she would so clearly and ritualistically STATE the date at the opening and closing of each of our sessions. It has stuck with me. And its funny, I use it for all sorts of things. When I'm having a sad or rough patch in my day (or week or year for that matter), I tend to find some sky to look up at, and I
Before getting into much let me say I am beyond humbled and thrilled and terrified and ecstatic about this residency. First, the staff at Counterpulse are amazing. This feeling of being supported is both delightful and totally foreign, but it's a feeling i could get used to. so first, and for real THANK YOU to all the CP folks. Second, I can't believe Joe Goode will be mentoring this project. I dont even have words for this... more on that
the beginning... my favorite part everything seems possible and the threads of connection are just barely starting to show themselves. At the beginning, I spend a lot of time drawing, painting, imagining, and (i wish less often) buying/collecting objects. the visual component of the work is hugely crucial for me. here are some preliminary paintings i've done for the set inspiration for Hot Wings and some amazing finds from Scrap (a decoy deer and waves of tiny birds) how will these
Today is May 27th, 2010...that never gets old. So, Tell Them That You Saw Me (which I'm realizing is kind of a very Miranda July-esque title...funny how subconscious influences work on us) is being built. Julie, Maryam, Loren, Shawnrey, and Anna are all pretty much on fire. I'm learning not to fixate so much on identifying dominant themes, and instead trusting the work to kind of reveal itself as it will. Now that Julie's back from Croatia, we've been having
When I was an undergraduate in North Carolina, I would often decide to drive home to Louisiana late at night. Around ten or eleven pm I'd decide that now was as good a time as any to make the 12 hour southbound drive . My car only had a radio, and the late night interstate travel radio station options in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana were quite limited. A solution I came up with to combat boredom/fatigue was to
I wish I could say that I came to it on my own, but I didn't. Yesterday's work-in-progress showing was very important for the development of this work. And I'm feeling pretty emotional about it right this second. The question/"issue"/conflict of me as a male auteur, making this work very much ON the women of this company has always been a beast. Initially, there were ways of trying to do some sort of damage control, ie: The work would include
