Back at editing videos. Trying to go through all the film footage that has been accumulating since my time in Aberystwyth last August.

The video below was filmed last summer partly in Italy and partly in Wales during my residency at Aberystwyth Arts Centre, that is were the idea was born and were I had made the plastic bags veils that you see performing in the video.

Magic hands, musical hands, what else? Just longing for them to touch you too?

ALL WRAPPED UP READY TO GO BACK TO OAKLAND!

THESE STICKS I HAD MADE LAST YEAR FOR NINA HAFT & COMPANY FOR THE PERFORMANCE AT ZACCHO DANCE THEATRE.

THEY WERE AN ADAPTATION OF OF THE  ARTWORK 'COLONNE D'ERCOLE'

NINA AND THE DANCERS HAVE BEEN DOING A REALLY GRAND JOB AT CHOREOGRAPHING THEIR MOVES WITH THIS SCULPTURAL EXTENSION QUITE AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL.

THEY WERE THE CENTER PIECE OF THE VILLA MONTALVO TERRACE DURING ANDREA'S POP UP CAFE' EVENT.

THEY ARE NOW ALL PACKED UP AGAIN READY TO GO BACK TO NINA'S BASEMENT IN OAKLAND AND HOPEFULLY TO SHOW BACK UP AND BE REVIVED BY ANOTHER PERFORMANCE SOON!
