Save the Date: RoofTop is coming!

My yet-to-be-titled new trio, featuring Emily Bock, Emily Giovine and myself, and some sound swung together by Ricky Mungaray, will be premiering (or in some such state of performability) on May 21st! That's very soon! Follow the link below to get to the official RoofTop website (they are lovely folks, those producers, and would love your webtraffic!).

Put May 21st at 7pm in your calendar. Plan to be on a rooftop drinking beer and sangria in Bushwick. Look out for two Emily's and a Tara doing some small and big things to some small and big sounds. Should be detailed, lush, and occasionally awkward. Plan to almost recognize things. I'll put up some rehearsal footage soon!

REHEARSAL video!

On April 7th I performed a new dance experiment I'm calling "Duration (black people dance better)" for Sophia Cleary's REHEARSAL showing for a small audience in one of those legendary warehouse artist studios in Gowanus. Aside from the chance to perform something I've been thinking about alot lately, I got an hour's worth of great dialogue and feedback based on the Liz Lerman Critical Response Process, as well as dumplings straight from Chinatown and some delightful wine from a giant bottle. The video of my creation for the showing is up!
