Comme Toujours Here I Stand at The Kitchen from Big Dance Theater on Vimeo.

i’m performing with big dance theater in our new piece, comme toujours here i stand opening tonight at the kitchen. and would love for you to come!

the piece is based on agnes varda’s new wave film, cleo from 5 to 7, and uses some awesome / interesting / gorgeous use of video (by jeff larson), dance, music (sung by me in french!) and awesome wallpaper. purchase tickets here. it’s only $15!

the above trailer was made by claudia tanney, with music by kotchy.

vejer de la frontera

so right now i’m in paris staying at the amazing apartment of my dear friend cecile. this morning i woke up at 6am in the tiny pueblo que se llama Vejer De La Frontera, where i stayed for two days with my new friend (and big dance theater alum) Ally.

Vejer is one of a handful of towns on the southern coast of spain that has some of the only virgin beaches left in the world. no hotels. no boardwalks or amusement parks. just sand, surf, rocks and a couple of amazing bars and restaurants.

heather turns is out.

so right now i’m sitting in a bunk bed in a hostel in madrid, catching up on various internet correspondences and design work, and i figured i’d let you all in on the kind of cri-zazy party we had the other night at the closing of les subsistances’ ça tchatche #2 festival.

for more ridiculous pics like the above of the fabulous miss heather christian, checkout the galleries i just uploaded on facebook :

some other updates :

big dance reviewed in lemonde!

big dance theater got a smashing review in Le Monde, which is the biggest newspaper in france. it basically said that we were the cream of the crop so to speak at last week’s festival in Lyon. we also got the above huge color photo in the printed version of the story - apparently a huge deal for theater/dance in france!

read the full article (in french).

my eyes!

and here we have it. two days later. you should see the other guy.

this black eye is the result of me drinking a shit load of free champagne and then face-planting it into a really old french pebble wall. awesome.

it doesn’t hurt as much as it looks and in a few days it’ll just be super sexy.

last night, jess and i saw david byrne play in madrid and hung out afterwards. everyone said my eye made me look sexy. DB says hi, by the way.

soon i will finally leave the mod confines of my hostel and explore esta ciudad.

more to come, folks.

ponce on bed

just returned home from dropping off ponce, my cat, at my parent’s house. they’ll be taking care of him for a month while i’m in france. oh yeah, i’m going to france with big dance theater for a month to work on a new piece called ‘comme toujours here i stand.’ we’ll be in lyon for three weeks.

fear not i will blog as much as possible to keep you up to date.

but right now, i just miss my mister kitty. it’s weird to see this apartment without him. and it’ll be really weird to go to sleep without him snuggling me off to dreamland. sigh.

who ever thought i would become a cat lady?

oh wait. everyone.
