Before becoming interested in video I was a dancer, choreographer and performance artist and explored the use of moving images in live performance. I began my career in the arts working with acclaimed theater director Robert Wilson & performed in many of his works including the original production of “Einstein on the Beach” (1976). In 1979 I co-founded Performance Space 122 in New York City – a theater that has become one of this country’s most active presenters of new dance & performance. With the advent of affordable camcorders in the 1990’s I began to document the New York City dance and performance scene and to produce a public access television show, “Alive & Kicking – New Directions in Dance and Performance”, which aired for 4 years on Manhattan Neighborhood Network before being picked for distribution to educational institutions by Insight Media, Inc. and Alexander Press, LTD. Today there are nearly 100 Alive & Kicking series. Each program showcases an individual choreographer, company or performance artist.
