crossover inspiration
Saturday, December 26, 2009 at 10:16AM This year's collaboration with CityDance and Pyramid Atlantic has planted the seed of desire in me to do more of this kind of "crossover" work between the performing and visual arts, specifically with dance. Am starting to research the genesis of these kinds of projects that started to crop up mid-twentieth century through the likes of Merce Cunningham's collaborations with Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, and Jasper Johns.
Rebecca Kamen is a local Northern Virginia artist with a galactic vision. Her work mashes up science, art, performance and installation. She collaborated with Jane Franklin Dance this past year to marry contemporary sculpture with contemporary dance. I'm fascinated by this mix, visions of future collaborations dancing in my own head.

Hi Kelly,
I love Rebecca's work too! Isn't she brilliant?
Hi - I loved working with Rebecca and I hope we can do more!
Hi Kelly:
I just ran across your blog about my installation Divining Nature: An Elemental Garden at GRACE and the collaboration with Jane's dance troupe. First let me thank you for your enthusiasm about the project, as well as thank Jane for the opportunity to work with her and her extraordinary dancers. It was a wonderful experience!
Thanks again for your support of this project.
