Hip Hoppin and phedhex.com

Thanks for everyone for bearing w/ the dry spell of blog entries (even though most of you reading this are probably geeky enough to be plugged into the RSS).

At any rate, back in March I was featured as a dance teacher in Cao Fei’s opening at Lombard-Freid. Other than the ritual of free wine and cheese that is the “Chelsea Art Opening,” I got to watch myself in a video teaching old Chinese people how to dance hip hop. There was even some footage of me doin some breaking of my own.

I thought that would be the last I’d hear from them, but sometime last month they sent me a media packet. Not only does it include two large prints of me gettin jiggy w/ it, it also includes a sticker sheet, with two stickers of me – one of me pulling a handplant, and another of me teaching an old Chinese guy how to raise the roof.

Have a looksee:

Here’s one of those large prints:

And the other…

This is the sticker sheet. That’s right, I’m on a sticker:

Here’s that first print, but in sticker form:

And, the best for last:

In dance news, I’m scheduled to work with Morgan Murphey, a friend and in a piece where I dance in my underwear. Rehearsals start as soon as MMurph gets back to the city in the first week of September. I’M GONNA BE A DANCER MOMMA!!!

In digital news, I bought www.phedhex.com, where I’ve set up a Wiki to document all my digital work.

Also, I plan to move up outa this blogspot joint and into a phedhex.com hosted WordPress blog. For a casual reader, this doesn’t mean much (except that you’ll go to www.phedhex.com/blog), but for a geek RSS reader, you can subscribe only to Movement posts, only Digital posts, or if you wish, you can continue to feed into all work. I should expect to have that up in maybe a week.

Till next time…

Where's PhedHex?

You know how they make greeting cards so that you don’t have to come up with the words yourself? Someone should do that for bloggers who don’t let the world know what they’re up to.

So, I’m quitting my day job to persue this Wiremap thing full-time. I’m also really busy writing an application for Eyebeam’s residency program. It’s due on Monday.

I promise: in a couple of weeks I’ll update you on everything, including the acquisition of www.phedhex.com, dance work with a friend from college, the media packet from Cao Fei (my very own hip hop sticker), dancing in the light of a projector, an anaglyph dance video, and perhaps the most exciting development of all, mirage, a water version of wiremap.

Tune in sometime in the next couple of weeks, because I’m damn excited to get back in the groove.
