Hello Everybody!
I’m thrilled to tell you about a new work. Symphony for the Dance Floor is a collaboration with the legendary hip-hop photographer Jonathan Mannion, and features choreography by Millicent Johnnie and direction by DJ Mendel. It will premiere at Arizona State University’s Gammage Auditorium on February 5, 2011, and then make its way to NYC for the 2011 Bam Next Wave Festival.
Here’s a preview track from the show, Begging For Your Affection. I’m wanting to combine contemporary composition with modern dance and photography, all within a theatrical setting:
Here are photos of all the collaborators. I think it’s important we see everyone involved:
Jonathan Mannion, photography
Millicent Johnnie, choreography
DJ Mendel, direction
DBR, composer
I’ll be posting more preview tracks, photos, and more information this week so stay tuned!
