My Week was GO

Practicing all week, then performing the 29th, 30th, and 31st for the Go! Faculty Dance Concert at CSU East Bay, hence the low activity on the site…

And sadly I have no pics of the actual performance yet to show.  I will post if I get them though.

But I will give a shout out to choreographer/coordinator Anne-Lise Ruessig, who organized the event and gave me the opportunity to get on stage and go for it.  She’s an awesome teacher, too.

That’s Anne above.  She teaches at CSUEB as well as working with Dandelion Dance Theatre.  Erik Kupers and Kimiko Guthrie are the artistic directors of Dandelion, and gleefully push boundaries in not only live performance but film as well, two of which had their premiers at the Go! Event.

Below are some of the press pics of Dandelion Dance Theatre’s work.

About Benjamin Allen Ellis

Some phoenix mythologies talk of the soul's hierarchy in terms of birds. The eagle being our pinnacle, the phoenix right below, constantly burning and dying and rebirthing in order to find itself born eagle. Since 2000, and my first public art show, I've used the Phoenix as a rallying cry for myself to take hold of what I want and keep 'rebirthing' until I get it. After eight years, it was time to consciously move on up. Hey - I'm goin' eagle.
