A view beneath the bridge
Ciao collaboratori
This is the first video I am going to use. Maybe I am going to quote some lines from the original text by Miller. Dancers should start mixing with the train running shot.
Then I should start dancing with them in the second video posted in the previous post (makes sense?... )
Hope you like the msg behind it :)

Brooklyn Bridge
Hi class
I don't know if you already assigned the different bridges. I am working on Brooklyn Bridge since I would also like to include quotes from A View From The Bridge
Also, I found a video that was taken on the Brooklyn Bridge. The music is composed and played by a dear freind of mine, Daniele Camarda, whose music I was planning to use anyway. Here is the video:

Die de los Muertos video
This is my small video on El Dia de los Muertos. We have a similar tradition in Italy and I have always been fascinated by the Mexican lore and culture. A Mexican friend of mine forwarded this video to me. I only added the funny intro and found a song for it...
Gracias A La Vida as performed by the great Mercedes Sosa, a legendary folk singer from Argentina.
Thoughts after the show? Well, lots of tension in doing something I am not used to doing.
But I cared so much for the performance and I realized, as I was saying it to Dr. Gilbert, that for me it was the first performance with my back to the audience. I guess I was feeling part of it as the people on stage.
Everybody is excited about the creative and connecting possibilities this can lead to. And I was. And I am.
But at the same time, I was thinking that live perfomances are irreplaceable. The Korean dancer literally bewitched me. Would it had been the same if I were in California?
I am saying this because a singer and songwriter I know once said that the future of songwriters will be through shows online via skype, since clubs don't pay much anymore. I think this is going to kill the ritual of music, of performance in general. Human beings' breath, sweat, smell are as part of the performance as the artistic material they are working with.
Let's enjoy this. Let's learn. But let's continue to go to clubs and theatres. I am afraid new generations will prefer to stay home and watch shows from their screens...

an extra
Hey collaborators
Ok I'm posting this extra-one for 2 reasons:
1) I did not understand that the first assignment was only pictures
2) A friend of mine suggested me I put songs of mine on youtube, even with only a pictures of mine. Then I thought: Wait, I can do better than that...
I also thought that this is very collaborative in its way. Most of these pictures were taken by photographers in different live occasions. Thanks to the pictures we met as artists and then we continued collaborating and keeping in touch. Some of them became good friends of mine!
So, I hope you enjoy the song
Video coming up soon, hopefully
