LIGHTING STRIKES ANYONYMOUS (Fall 2009/Winter 2010)
We've just started work on a new dance/theater piece, an exciting collaboration with lighting designer Michael Oesch, writer Kim Green and composer Cory Gabel. It's about people who are addicted to being struck by lighting. We'll be presenting a work-in-progress showing this fall, with the finished piece to be shown in February 2010.
If you'd like to follow the artistic process, we've started a blog about the piece: lightningstrikesanonymous.blogspot.com/
