Super fortunate to be working with contemporary choreographer Megan Paradowski during her residency for LA Dance Project's LAUNCH this month. We've made a 25-minute piece that incorporates sounds of a melting ice sculpture, made by Heidi Ross, and performed by six dancers. Shows are Friday-Sunday!

Awesome article in @theguardian.com about Sam Shoemaker's mushroom kayak project. Sam will be exhibiting the kayak and documentation of the trip at my husband's gallery @fulcrumarts.org this October!

If art/science is your thing you should give Fulcrum a follow!
