Update #4: the virtuosity of brushing your hair
Posted on October 22, 2009
I made a quick little post in my blog, www.makedancehere.blogspot.com, but I thought I'd post it here as well...
ahem...
The virtuosity of brushing your hair...
I've been thinking about virtuosity and how it relates to this piece. How can semi-pedestrian movement be virtuosic? Is it the transitions? It is the layers? Is it the improvisational nature of it?
There is something about the seamless transitions between casual movement to contact that seems virtuosic. How does one shift from a relaxed state of brushing hair out of one's face to a more frenetic state of jumping on someone's back, and then shift back to the original state?
What do you think about that? What does seamless mean to you?
I think you are smart, and I'd love to hear your thoughts...

SUPER AWESOME STRAIGHT UP GANGSTA Since our last VIP seats were just SOLD OUT, we needed to close the STRAIGHT UP GANGSTA section. But don't worry, you can still be a gansta in our world. If you want to contribute $29 or more, you will get all the benefits of a STRAIGHT UP GANGSTA, but no VIP seat. (We can give you a smooch on the nose though!)

Connected as Lily Sloan (765 friends)
The idea behind Big Rig Dance Collective sprung up while we were road trippin' from Denton to a performance in Austin, TX. Like highways connect cities, we aim to connect diverse communities through accessible performances, community classes, and collaborative events. BRDC is directed by Whitney Boomer, Crysta Caulkins-Clouse, Amanda Jackson, and Lily Sloan and creatively developed with many DFW area dance artists. We have recently completed guest artist residencies at Tarrant County Community College, North Central Texas College, Richland College, Green Space Arts Collective, and Ryan High School. We have collaborated with artists such as Sarah Gamblin (Dance), John Osburn (Music), Impulse (Music), and Hentai Performing Orchestra (Music), and performed in concerts and festivals such as Big Range Dance Festival (Houston and Austin), Dance and the Child International, and DFW Arts Goggle.
