End of Rally

These are quick edits. I just wanted to get something up. I'm working on a longer version of the days events, but it will take me a little while to finish.

July 15, 2010. We stormed City Hall. We got attention and support of local politicians. The fight is not over, but for now we can take a moment to celebrate and reflect. All of us came together!

Beginning of Rally

Thank you to everyone that came out in support. It was hot, it was crowded , it was loud, it was powerful!

Daily Dance Diary #16

Under water.
Up above.
Under ground.
In the ditch.
Inside out.
In the Sound.
On the chairs.
By the table.
All around.
On the stairs.
Staying stable.

Daily Dance Diary #15, "Couched"

What are we contained by? How do we move within the space that contains us?

City Rose

I am inspired by a rose
that grows
near the rows
of cars parked on the street.

I am inspired by the yellow of that rose,
the colors that come together to create the yellow on that rose,
the imitation yellow of my clothes
and the signs on the road.

I am inspired by the cycle of life, that,
through pain and strife,
continues to cycle onward.

The Last Beat of the Measure

How can dance be visual art as well? How can moving pictures become a collage of meaning, different at every moment for every viewer? How can one dancer and one editor make something exciting happen?

#14 "Hide and Seek"

Audio at play.

#13 "Push/Pull"

This day drained me emotionally. The title, I believe, says it all.

Three Rhythm

This series is rewarding to create. I hope it is rewarding to experience as well.

Two Rhythm

New experiments I feel good about. I want to know what people think of these videos!

Silliness #13

This is kind of silly, but sometimes I need to be silly and goofy.

One Rhythm

Moving where my feet take me.

Taking a Break

July 12, 2010
A much needed break from a day full of organizing a protest (emails, press releases, writing, reading, calling, talking, emails!).

Third Flight

The third stop/go on the journey, and the continuation in your mind.

Second Flight

The second stop/go on the journey.

First Flight

The first stop on a journey of discovery.

Sunday Afternoon (daily dance #11)

Out rolling around the neighborhood.

Special Effects #2 (Daily Dance #10)

Don't worry I will get tired of these special effects soon. Sometime I just don't feel like showing my face, especially after a hot day when my face is all oily.

The Everyday

My 10th daily diary comes a day late. #11 is in the works.

In this video, I was interested in filming an everyday experience, including sound and movements. I sped it up to add another layer for the viewer. Although accidental, I really like that my reflection is captured in the pot on the stove.

Three In A Row

I do not have reliable internet access right now. I have three great videos to submit for the 9th, 10th, and 11th, but they will have to wait to be submitted until Monday when I can go to the school library. For now, I will work on commenting on Y's and K's videos and keep dancing every day!
