WiP - Thursday

I went to the opening night party for WiPFest 2009 at the Senior Center. It was an entertaining evening, with two choreographed dances: a modern piece based on the poetry cycle Zimmerman performed by The Traveler's Dance Group, a senior dance group; and another modern (but more classical style based) piece performed by young teenage ballerinas.

Also, Craig was in an orange box making orange juice with episodes from his and Florina's web series, Daidaiiao, watchable at www.vimeo.com/4606073. It's well worth your time.

Laura had the following to say about Craig and Florina's instillation:

Florina and Craig's 'Daidairo' orange juice installation was so incredible today! I received orange juice in half an orange with a heart drawn on the bottom, and a small cup of orange juice with pseudo Japanese writing. Craig didn't speak for about 4 hours, during which he took on the persona of one of his many alter egos, "Yoo." He also sat inside a large orange box that seemed to control his every emotion, thought, and ability to access the outside world.

It was pretty amazing.
