Colin Gee’s New Online Project

Wayne Ashley’s FuturePerfect just let us know about their newest project, I, who am the chorus, by former Cirque Du Soleil performer Colin Gee. It’s a series of character studies shot in Rome and presented on a standalone website. Colin presented From Dakota in PS122’s downstairs theater back in 2005, which also mixed dance and character study and video.

Colin Gee’s I, who am the chorus is a series of seventeen short video character studies mapped onto the powerfully iconic city of Rome. Viewed in any order, each video features an almost immobilized Gee, poised in front of an oddly uninhabited scene from the urban built environment—an ancient piazza, a residential street, the entrance to a door, stairs leading to an unknown destination, a bridge, a crossroads, the ruins of a Roman temple.

New Trailer for Symptom

The Body Cartography Project just uploaded a cool new trailer for Symptom, the piece created by twins Otto and Emmett Ramstad that played PS122’s downstairs theater back in COIL 2011.

Annie Dorsen on “A Piece of Work”

At PS122’s SPAN series we heard from Annie Dorsen about her new show, “A Piece of Work” (formerly “False Peach”), which uses a series of elaborate actions to control actors and stage directions in a massive deconstruction of Hamlet. Well the show recently premiered at Seattle’s On the Boards and Intiman theater sat down with Annie Dorsen to discuss the making of her show on this podcast. I’m looking forward to seeing the show when it premieres in New York.

Half Straddle Songbook at the New Museum

As part of their residency at the New Museum, Half Straddle are performing a live concert on Thursday. They will be performing selections for the much-anticipated COIL 13 show, Seagull (Thinking of you).

Giarmo’s compositions juxtapose plaintive vocals and piano-based pop with short, repetitive samples programmed into propulsive, rhythmic loops, while Satter’s lyrics combine willfully awkward non sequiturs with accessible and slyly subversive themes of innocent longing and defiant alienation.
