Installation 

 

 

I've always taken to installation, naturally, and remember my first composition classes in undergraduate school.  The first few assignments I transformed the space, the dancers interacted with it, and the space came first, then the exploration.  I was encouraged to NOT use props and such and was required to make dance phrases. The first dance phrase took eight hours to make the first phrase.

 

My favorite installation to design to date was for the ADaPT Festival Series.

 

I played with the concept of overlapping and linear time and was a director and designer of the creative expression that came to the space.

 

My most rascally installation adventure was for the Museum Project.  I dressed like a museum guard and installed a framed ipad on my back with images of my art playing.  I installed myself at the Belvedere in Vienna, the Lourve in Paris, and the Norton Simon in Los Angeles.  

 

If I did this again, I would do it with an artist from each country, and choreograph the whole event - of course, all uninvited.
