November 2013 I Only Have Eyes For You
This dance video is a depiction of my work with Dixon Gallery and Gardens for their annual fundraiser, "Art on Fire."
They were featuring hot air balloon rides in their front courtyard, and I was hired to create an artful vibe for the patrons waiting to lift off.
I developed a dance playlist for months -- combing the web for popular music from the 30s, 40s, 50s, testing songs in rehearsal to see how they would perform
long term.
I took them with me when Art on Fire came, in all its nightly splendor.
By the end of it, my shoes were wasted. Holes in the soles.
The concrete pavers had asked for a toll, and I gave it willingly - - happily shredding my shoes for this night, this dance. For my love of the music,
my partner, the music, to whom I open freely.
I hope you enjoy this video. It represents months and years of dedication, progression, and achievement.
