"Forward" came from a series of drawings I made at the American Dance Festival 2007.

Some Songs

"Some Songs" is the title of a choreographic piece by Bill T. Jones. I attended closed rehearsals of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company as they were rehearsing this piece in Harlem, NYC.

This drawing (18"x24") was made during a collaborative performance in Brooklyn, NY, with a dancer, live saxophonist, and filmmaker.

Bill's Ghost

Lara Hanson — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 03:10:14 GMT

This piece was inspired by a drawing I did at the exhibit "Ghostcatching" at Cooper Union in New York City. The piece was a collaboration between dancer/choreographer Bill T. Jones and a computer animation company called Riverbed. Riverbed placed reflective balls on Bill's entire body and then captured his movement on several cameras set up in a studio. The result was a 3-D animation of Bill's body, reduced to what looked like drawn lines, moving through space. It was beautiful. It challenged me to see what a human (me) could do in trying to capture movement on a two-dimensional surface.

This piece was performed in the now defunct Physical Arts Center in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It is a performed dialogue that I have with an animation piece I created. The performance can be seen on my website.

Ten Amor (Anna Teresa De Keersmaeker)

Lara Hanson — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 02:33:59 GMT

This drawing was made during dancer/choreographer Anna Teresa De Keersmaeker's solo performance of "One" at the Joyce Theater in New York, New York in 2005. The entire piece was danced to the music of Joan Baez. Her work was truly inspirational--drawing her movements was one of those rare experiences where I really felt like I was dancing with her.
