B. Research: Contemporaray Dance[Modern/Western Movement Vocabulary]: The catalyst for deviation and extension in Post Structural Sound, Choreoperiodicity, Optimum Creative Dialog and the Dunnist Period in Music. This research is rooted in Composer Louis Horsts seminal work in modern dance during the early part of the last century, followed by John Cage, Pia Gilbert and the subsequent work of Composer Robert Ellis Dunn during the Judson Church years to the work of dance musicians in the latter part of last century and the formation of the International Guild of Musicians in Dance(IGMID) leading to the current practice in Music as an interdisclipinary artform within the context of dance. Begun in 2004, with a series of experimental sessions, at the Barker Center for Dance, University of Minnesota.
C. "STEEL": This will be an evening length work utilizing the structure of the Weisman Art Museum. As I am only inspired by the human form I will utilize real time images of choreography projected onto the outer west wall of the Weisman Art Museum to create the illusion of structural life. The resulting visual experience created by the melding of the human form and the lines of the Frank Gehry designed structure will provide the source material for the sound score, the resulting soundscore will provide the source material for the Choreography. The performance principals wil be based on 'Optimum Creative Dialog", an outcome from the research in item B.
D. Open Source Dance: An outcome from research listed in item B.
