Thursdays from 7:00-9:00
In March of 2016 I presented my newest work - from “Thursdays from 7:00-9:00” at Contemporary Dance and Fitness Studio. “Thursdays” was based on my 9 years of experience as an art class model. I have worked with various artists but regularly sit for Billy Brauer’s painting class in Montpelier. It was Billy’s class that the piece was based on. Movement phrases were created from videos of the artists’ individual physical movement during a class, conversations between the artists and sketches from the class. I was most interested in re-creating the over all flow and intention of a drawing class and seeing how the two art forms of dance and visual art intersect.
In addition to the dance element Bridget Wheeler played an improvisational score on her standing bass and Ali Palin and Hope Sharpe created visual art - sketching and painting respectfully. Excepts of this piece were shown at the 2016 New Works show at Phantom Theater in Warren, Vermont and at art/DANCE/ART in Burlington, Vermont.
