Ashley posted a blog postthe blank.
I recently found an old program from my 2008 piece, "the blank." It's interesting to look back and realize how many of the concepts that I had at the earliest stages of my creative and academic development still resonate with my work today. I will upload a short video of highlights from "the blank." later today. For now, I thought I'd share the program text. the blank.

- Ashley Ferro-Murray is a choreographer and Ph.D. candidate in Performance Studies with emphasis on New Media at the University of California, Berkeley. Ferro-Murray’s choreography explores how movement is central to subjectivity in the digital age. Her practice is a performative engagement of kinesthetic and somatic experiences with technological devices. Ferro-Murray incorporates everyday technology such as the iPhone into her work only to disrupt the ordinary use value of the device. Instead of talking on a cell phone, the choreographer programs the phone’s movement sensors to illustrate the ways in which the device effects movement patterns and somatic attention. Her choreography has been produced by Cornell University, the University of California, Berkeley, and The Milk Bar in Oakland, CA.
Ferro-Murray's dissertation research focuses on media-based choreography to consider the importance of movement in the construction of digital subjectivities. Ferro-Murray uses dance history and dance studies to analyze dance choreographers who use media in tactical ways. She then expands the scope of her research to include work by new media artists who use movement in tactical ways. Aesthetic analysis acknowledges the complexities of subjectivity as it is produced in contemporary digital culture.
Ferro-Murray has reviewed "Stance: Ideas about Emotion, Style, and Meaning for the Study of Expressive Culture by Harris M. Berger" for The Drama Review and "Relationscapes: Movement, Art, Philosophy by Erin Manning" for Dance Research Journal. Ferro-Murray has been featured as a contributor on -empyre- new media list serve and In Media Res blog. She has been an invited lecturer at Bryn Mawr College, the University of Pennsylvania, and Cornell University and has also given talks at conferences for Dance Under Construction, The Society for Dance History Scholars, Congress on Research and Dance, Performance Studies International, and American Society for Theater Research. Ferro-Murray currently co-organizes a Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities working group on new media. She serves as the graduate associate for the University of California, Berkeley Arts, Technology & Culture Colloquium and as a member of the executive committee for the Berkeley Center for New Media.

"Fragment 3" is the third fragment in a process-based series that choreographer Ashley Ferro-Murray has been working on since Fall 2008.
Exploring the space between digital spectrality and digital saturation, this piece moves through various networks as it leads an audience through various iterations of digital choreographies. Wireless accelerometers used throughout the choreographic process inspire the conceptual context of this piece.… Continue

Thanks for the comment. Your work sounds great. Where were you when you met the S? I am also a east/west coast kind of girl, I am truly recognizing that I can't stay in one place for too long, it's good to have options. I am now on vacation on the central coast, then I continue this cross-continental experimental performance/rehearsal process of ID. What a year. How's Berkeley for studying performance?
We look forward to meeting you. Very curious to know more about what you do. Sorry our website is not more informative but it is in process of being updated. Is any of your work online?
If there is anything we can do to help in what I am assuming is your move to Berkeley just let me know.
Take care,
Sheldon
