POON (2001-2005)

Before Tom and I formed POON Productions, we created an evening of dance aptly titled POON for PS122′s Mark Russell with 10 dancers and an 8 musician world orchestra. My third evening length Dance Theatre piece, POON riffs on the elements depicting Ether, Air, Water, Fire, and Earth. We combined folk dances from all over the world with my version of jazzy contemporary technique to create a mega hybrid I now call erotic modern dance. First performed at Club Luxx in Williamsburg Brooklyn, we took that club feel and converted it into a revolutionary kind of dance performance.
