Jessica Grindstaff and Eric Sanko were just fantastic on WAMC’s Roundtable this morning (listen to the interview here).  Jessica pointed us in the direction of  this collection of photos by Gina Moss from their last residency in Australia.  Look at the photos and listen to the interview at the same time for a complete multimedia presentation about  69° South: The Shackleton Project.

Zvi Gotheiner on ZviDance

With only one more day before the performance our dance company in residence ZviDance is hard at work preparing for their Work-In-Progress showing of  Zoom tomorrow at 8 PM.  Sarah LaDuke at WAMC got a chance to talk with choreographer Zvi Gotheiner for a Roundtable interview. You can listen to the full interview here! Also check out our YouTube page for three more videos of ZviDance rehearsals.

I sat in on a school time performance of Zoom the company did for local school children this morning. The students and teachers had a great time interacting with the dancers and effecting the action on the stage. Below are a few photos taken by the company and teachers in the audience.

If you don’t have your tickets for ZviDance yet you can purchase them here. If you already have your tickets don’t forget to bring your cell phone to interact with the company!

Looking for something to do before the performance? Stop by the opening of Gravity is a Force to be Reckoned With in the galleries.

Cheers,

Brittany

A day without cranes is like a day without sunshine

Richard, Dante, John, Jason, and Denise are hard at work moving the frame for Inigo Manglano-Ovale’s glass house into Building 5. We got a couple of shots of the start of the installation.

We couldn’t ask for better weather high 50s and clear.  No surprise, we lose a lotta heat when that overhead door is open.

They’ve moved in quite a few pieces already.

Once the house is assembled over the next few days, Kapiloff’s Glass will come in and measure and then cut glass to fit.  Dante has been taking a bunch of pictures today. We’ll post them to flickr tomorrow.  Stay tuned.

Bandaloop in action

Production intern extraordinaire Rachel Wright snapped some shots of Project Bandaloop rehearsing yesterday. These show the dancers on the old Sprague Power Plant which you see from Route 2 when you’re driving over the overpass.  (It has the Dave Thomas banner of the fingers holding the Pearl Tower in Shanghai.)
