Midas Touch 1986

No Parking (On the Dance Floor) 1983

no bad days

living in the boonies, coping with dance; sounds familiar

a short film from Kristoffer Borgli 

heathers

 

we watched the 1988 film 'Heathers' on our v.day date

& i was enthralled with the late 80's fashion

i took a quick gander through it again on via YouTube

& gathered my favorite shots

  

blazers & brooches, tights & socks, natural hair & hats

scrunchies, swatch, & shoulder pads

early Winona Ryder, Christian Slater & Shannen Doherty

 

if you've never seen it, of course, now you must!

short-listed

I applied to the Summer Dance Makers Residency, Toronto, 

to re-shoot this video I made in 2009

Two artists are selected to use studio space in the distillery district
for one week in the summer, and are given $500
to realize a project

I received word today that I have been short-listed, 

which doesn't mean that I got in

It just means I was selected as a maybe from all the applications they received

And I'm quite proud!

update: I got it!!!

when i grow up

normally i don't like to post too many videos, especially one after the other,
you know, wanna keep it fresh 

(i'm currently listening to vintage Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince). 

BUT today my love emily sent me this video. and it made my day. 

i've always had a thing for choreographed everything. and its the first thing i ever remembering wanting to be when i grew up. from the days of hanging out on my trampoline, a lot, and making dances to ace of base. this video pretty much perfectly defines the kind of thing i want to make when i grow up. so inspirational.
