But In Portland Im gonna put on an opera, it will be fantastic. dunno if im gonna write a new one or if ill get it done w the bird show but that is kinda being saved for my birds in LA. I'll mis you all. Come Visit me!
02/02/09 Hello, I havent posted in awhile...but here's what i've been doing.
Press in Campus Circle (page 19), Urb.com and hoovesontheturf.com!
I just wrote a new Operetta with choreographer Natalie Taylor called "Study of Drowning" which was performed in a collective dance show called "La Mar" at the Electric Lodge in Venice, CA on January 23, 24. It is posted on my myspace page and the video will be up soon.
I recently joined the band "The Grand Marquee" as a keyboard player...we're preparing for South by Southwest this spring.
I am currently writing a library of commercial music...a girls' gotta make some $. I am also producing some velcroesized songs written by my friend Emmanuel Troy and also songs by Colin Ambulance.
I've been sewing for an artshow of my new broken velcroe dolls on June 10th, 2009 at the Landing Gallery in downtown los angeles....stay posted for more info.
I am in the brainstorming phase of a new conceptual music stage show that explores female sexuality in a feminist world, told through four "birds" in a cage who become aware they exist for the purpose of musing a handsome painter, and the decisions made when given the opportunity to escape the golden handcuffs. This performance will be a platform to showcase some very talented females emerging from the underground Echo Park/Silverlake rock scene....
Lastly, I left the oblivion house a couple months ago and I've been looking for a new "Broken Velcroe Collective" headquarters in LA and will likely be settled by march. This will serve as a design studio, recording studio, rehearsal /performance space (with a green screen!) and art gallery. We will be hosting monthly shows, so stay tuned!
As far as My Velcroe shows go, im waiting to get moved into a practice space where i can practice with the live band im putting together--yup, im sorta over being solo.... we'll be playing later in the spring.
