Gloria’s Cause Revisited

Back in December of 2010 I was part of a stage production that took an abstract look at the American Revolutionary War and American culture in general. Directed by Dayna Hanson formerly of 33 fainting Spells, Gloria’s Cause was a fun and messy assortment of scenes that sometimes appeared to come from nowhere. The show had multiple dancers and actors and a live band that almost all of us performed in. I fulfilled all three roles, some much better than others.

The show was co-presented by Seattle theater On The Boards and they paid for a film crew to document the work. That documentation can be seen at ontheboards.tv.  There’s some small amount of compensation the theater needs for the production work to be cost sufficient so be prepared to pay. I’ve watched the video several times and it’s great; the film crew did a wonderful job!

I’d also like to point out a short feature that appeared on cable TV about us: Gloria’s Cause Short Feature.

And here’s some screen shots from the On The Boards video. Now go watch it!!!

Victoria Howe: Confectioneste

My terrific friend Victoria Howe has started a new blog on her food creations: http://vvvyyyhhh.tumblr.com

So far it’s pretty delightful. No idea how long this mercurial being will keep up this site so check it out now while it’s still going. Her latest creation, a food pyramid composed of fresh raspberries, lychee fruit, and atomized rose-water was delicious.

Tut tut!
Fruit Pyramid!

Curation Situation

I’m guest curator for the Degenerate Art Ensemble’s Art Stream for the next two weeks.

I’m tasked with posting daily snapshots of artists and institutions that the world needs to know about. My first shot’s fired and it’s dedicated to Unnur Andrea, an Icelandic performer who makes music and videos. I’ve focused on her video work as it’s more interesting to me.
