It hardly seems possible but here we are at the last show of the season, Fathers and Sons at the Indiana Repertory Theatre May 15-18. I have been busy working on my newest work I Never Danced For My Father. It features the four men in the company at present dancing to some pretty fantastic percussion music by my friend Scott Deal. Scott is a new professor at the IUPUI School of Music, and the score is very exciting and perfect for the piece. In addition, we will be breaking new ground by showing short excerpts from video interviews that were done with the dancers’ fathers. You will get a chance to know both father and son as the piece progresses.

I spent all afternoon yesterday in the studio of my friend James Moriarty of Moriarty Media.  We got down to the task of editing the video interviews with the fathers of the male dancers which were recently conducted and which I am using in my new piece "I Never Danced For My Father."  It was a great deal of fun picking the segments that I wanted to use, and then watching James splice, correct, fade and color on his computer.  What an amazingly creative process, and it's all there at your fingertips and the click of a mouse.  And it happens instantly, quite the opposite of the choreographic process, where movements must be discovered second by second.
