About Me (human):: I'm a human, mind-body, body-machine, and 3 organizations.
They are:

A.O. PRO(+ductions) - an arts-focused production company dedicated to making affordable video work for artists, innovative dancefilms, and artifacts of performance, as well as developing the theory and programing of Hypermedia Systems

the A.O. Movement Collective - a dance company that is interested in in investigating the intricacy, compassion, wreckage, and mess inherent in the ways we live our lives. Originally from Washington, DC, the AOMC now produces dance, dancefilm, and hypermedia out of Brookyln, NY.

and Urgent Artist - an arts production and management umbrella that supports "artists living by their work" including the AOMC and A.O. PRO(+ductions), as well as a number of freelance clients.

Area of interest on performance and new media: right now, i'm working on a senior thesis that reinvents ways in which the choreographer can engage the audience in their watching of work, as well as help them build autonomy and authority over their own watching experience. Through rehearsal footage, dance films, performances, interviews, and blogs, i hope to create a new type of tool that will aid choreographers in gaining and retaining audiences, building interest and academia around their work, and even make a profit from time to time.

Enviornments and applications that you use the most for your projects: maxmspjitter, Final Cut ( or any other video editing), Protools (other sound editing software), other

How do you train yourself or your performers. How do you approach your embodied practices? what kind of technique do you use?: I hesitate to say that i train or practice a certain way -

Right now, i am engaged in the process of constant creating - going from one project to the next at a pretty regular interval. As per my thesis, I am also filming all work that goes into each piece for preservation purposes.

Today i am interested in creating work that maybe can't be understood fully by performance alone. I am interested in training the audience to be open to a new hierarchy in terms of understanding the relationship between performance and process. I guess i would say that i am training in thinking harder, speaking clearer, and reinvention.
