I highly recommend it. Bravo! - Elaine

The day before the historical presidential election on Nov 3rd, 2008, Elaine enlisted several of her friends to mount an Intermedia guerilla public event. With a slide projector and several dancers we hit the street without any concrete plan of action. We were able to project images from Bari's Cafe (thanks guys!) on a north west corner of Broadway and Spring street, while the dancers danced in white costumes and a couple of white bed sheets in front of the cafe.
Elaine was extremely happy with the result and hopes to develop the piece into a new piece called "Galumphing".

Dancers: Kiori Kawai, Jessica Higgins, Joanna R Steinberg, Joshua Selman and Mark Lanham.

Here goes the most recent performance of Crows Nest/ Solitary Geography in 2005. Crows Nest was premiered at the Guggemheim Museum in 1981 for the Intermedia Festival by Experimental Intermedia Foundation which Elaine founded in 1968. This recreation was performed at Boston Center for the Arts Cyclorama and organized by Alissa Cardone and Alla Kovgan, members of an intermedia performance collaborative Kinodance Company. Performers include Alissa Cardone, Ingrid Schatz, DeAnna Pellecchia, Debra Bluth, Olivier Besson and Laura Quattrocchi.

We edited a short video of Illuminated Workingman for Elaine's interview on the Performance Art Journal.
IWM was performed at Niagara Square, Baffalo in 1975. Thirty minutes of dancefilm was projected across a 120 ft-wide screen suspended on the columns of City Hall. The film projected onto the screen captures the faces, feet and actions of Buffalo workingmen, from a man guiding a huge airliner into position at Greater Buffalo International Airport to a Buffalo Sabres hockey player gliding across Memorial Auditorium's ice. Elaine choreographed and directed the intermedia film footage, Tony Bannon filmed this beautiful documentary footage, with Caman Moore doing the music.

A new issue of Performance Art Journal (PAJ 90) just came out. Please pick up a copy and read "Gardens of Light and Movement", a 15 page interview with Elaine by a writer/artist Kristine Marx. We would like to thank Bonnie Marranca, a long time editor of the magazine, Kristine Marx, and Paula Court - whose pictures illustrate the article.

You can pick up a copy of the journal at McNally Jackson if you are in Soho area in NYC like us, or order online from MIT Press.
