Calling all Choreographers
The Green Room
Aug 2005
Just a quick one to let all choreographers and dancers out there know that we’ve just released two calls:
1. The Momentum: New Dance Works 2006 Request For Proposals will go out on Monday. Due date is September 23. If any of you caught this year’s concert at the Southern this year (in July), you know it’s a great opportunity for emerging choreographers in Minnesota. For complete details, check out…

Momentum review
The Green Room
Aug 2005
Just finished reading Lightsey Darst’s review of Momentum. Whether or not I agree with her assessment is neither here nor there. Beautifully written. Someone give this woman a permanent gig as a dance critic, please.

That’s right, Posters people
The Green Room
Aug 2005
Glad to say that Wes Winship of Burlesque Design will be creating a limited edition poster for the Black Dice/13 & God show on Sept. 24. Feel bad for our in-house design team, as they would all no doubt kill for the opportunity to work on a fun project like this one, but alas, each has a catalog or three they’re working on, plus an insane number of other pieces. So we went outside for this one. Looking…

Watching music outside
The Green Room
Aug 2005
So we’ve gotten through three weeks of Summer Music & Moviesin Loring Park. Folks probably heard by now the craziness surrounding the first week, Mali’s Issa Bagayogo. That wasn’t my show, and for this I am grateful. Issa was delayed for hours by customs, making it touch and go for hours on this end as well. Audience members showed incredible patience with the interminable delays, and we were definitely…

If you would like the Walker Super Blog Feed point your news reader here:

BBC Resources
Media Lab
Jul 2005
Besides broadcasting content the BBC has taken some positive steps toward defining how broadcasters and content creators can best leverage technology. Since a lot of the work they have been doing is opensource there are possibilities to add contribute to or just benefit from work that is already being done. At the very least I think their stated plans to build public value are an interesting…

Rhizome Enables Member RSS
Media Lab
Jul 2005
Just saw a note on the Rhizome mailing list about this. Every member on Rhizome has their own RSS feed now. If you go to a member page you’ll see a link that under Member RSS feed that you can subscribe to. This is a great idea i hope it takes off. Maybe this is a possibility for mnartists.org in the future.
Also they added a feature to find users by location recently. Unfortunately it only lists…

Billboards and the “Beautiful City”
Field Guide
Jul 2005
Yesterday morning Calvin Klein launched a new “live billboard” in Times Square: around the clock, 40 gaunt models simulate partying (sans sex and booze) inside what’s supposed to be a bottle of CK One. I suppose it’s the next step in the billboardification of the world: we’ve got ad-tattooed foreheads, nuns selling ad space
