BANDW

Project.B. performed Triquetra at Western Ballet in Mountain View, Ca for Bay Area National Dance Week. Although I could not be there for the occasion, Marco escorted Norma, Chin-chin, and Yu-mien and reported that it was a great performance and was received well. Below are some photos of the performance.

Feast for the Senses

There is so much to look forward to with Moveable Feast coming  in exactly one month today!  Mike Sugrue's video of Yu-mien and Katherine will both be shown between each section of Moveable Feast, Margo Moritz's beautiful photographs and Marco Gallerizzo's work will be presented in the lobby of the Garage, and Jesse Olsen's music that he will compose especially for Project. B. will be one of the pieces that will accompany the dancers in one of the sections of Moveable Feast.

Project. B. has gained momentum in the last month.  Two of the three pieces are almost complete and the dancers have a semblance of what they need to execute artistically and dynamically to make this program a feast for the senses.


Please spread the word!  I'm very excited for this show.  I really think it will be a great one.

The Salon @ Studio Gracia

Mica and Ben Levy
The word "salon" is usually identified with beauty salons where people get their hair done and chat amongst each other about their lives and also to gossip.  However, the salon that Project. B. was a part of this evening is a gathering of artists in different genres to share, converse, watch, and enjoy each others work and ideas in a warm and inviting setting.  Thanks to Ben Levy of Levydance, who opened up his facility, Studio Gracia.  Levydance gave ten local artists 10 hours of free space to create and explore which then culminated in tonight's Salon.  The showcase included contemporary dance, ballet, burlesque, poetry, live music and painting.  Project.B. performed 2 sections of the piece Souterrain featuring Kelly Del Rosario, Norma Fong, and Chin-chin Hsu.

Other than the warm atmosphere and creativity that flowed through out the evening, it was also a great way to plug the May performance of Moveable Feast.  The dancers looked amazing and am always so thankful for all their beautiful dancing and hard work.

It was a nice April evening to be a part of the Salon.
