Amber & Absent Referents

Nick has been busy working on a project to help preserve the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.  Since I have been to Alaska and like animals, I offered to help by contributing my exemplary dance skills and keen semiological talents to an interpretive dance to the presentation he was working on.



At this point, there are two main movements to the dance: "migratory birds" and "baby moose waking up in the spring."  I just developed a new "snowshoe hare in snow" move, but I need to make sure that they live in the area which my dance is representing. More to come.

You work so hard. I hope you get a coffeebreak soon.

To be clear, CRD, this dance performance began after my working hours yesterday while I was sitting around waiting for you to green light my journey to meet you to see ALL ABOUT EVE. No part of this video was made on Mother Goose Inc. time.

Remember All About Eve? You getting the popcorn totally evened out me getting the tickets.

That is some great directing!

ALH said...

The tickets were free, CRD. The popcorn and snacks were $18. Your math stinks.

Oh, that is very special. Welcome video to Amber&. I hope we'll see more from this rich media source. I like how by the end of the piece Nick is looking down. It's so powerful, it just overtook him. He had to look away.

ALH said...

"Powerful" is a great word to describe it, Amy. It's exactly what I was trying to convey.

Amy is exactly right - I am still a little choked up.
