I’m performing online twice this week! Tonight, I’ll be playing a ten-minute duo set with Carlos Cotallo Solares in the Open Improvisations: ONLINE edition Facebook group shortly after 9pm Eastern. Thursday afternoon, Paul Pinto and I will host the first in a series of motivational sessions with dialogue, inspirational video, and song on Zoom — RSVP at thingny.com/motivators.
First, a recap: thingNY premiered our collaboratively created online piece SubtracTTTTTTTTT over three evenings in late April. Co-presented by MATA, the piece was previewed in The New Yorker and featured in a Washington Post article. If you missed it, you can catch up on YouTube. I also scored an experimental short film by Philadelphia-based theater artist Mark Kennedy.
Tonight, Carlos and I will perform spacey, effected violin and guitar — we’ll be the second of eleven acts. Join the Facebook group to watch, and feel free to comment during the live video.
Thursday, Paul and I will host our first brief afternoon motivational session featuring dialogue, inspirational video, and song. Doors open at 12:55pm; register in advance at thingny.com/motivators.
Looking ahead, thingNY has begun work on a follow-up to SubtracTTTTTTTTT to premiere in mid-July, and Paul and I are already planning our second motivational session.
