Rectangled
Aimee and I are finally making progress on the vertical rectangle duo...we have entitled it De Anima, meaning On the Soul in latin. The premier of this piece will be at The Latchis Theater here in Brattleboro, for The Affair of the Arts. We have also submitted the piece to the NYC Aerial Dance Festival in May, and of course will be performing in the Channeling debut in April. So much to do, so little time it seems. Photos to come soon.

Working hard.
It has been a while since I last posted on our progress. We have been very busy and I feel like "Channeling" is starting to take shape. Scary how quickly time is flying by though.
Amanda, Aimee and I have finished the basic choreography for the trio horizontal rectangle. Aimee and I are working on a duet on a long thin vertical rectangle, which we will be performing at The Latchis Theater here in Brattleboro on March 7th, for The Affair of the Arts. More details on that soon. Also, Amanda is working on her single point trapeze piece, making progress as she befriends the beast. Bronwyn joins us back in the rehearsal studio once she is done working on the latest incarnation of Nimble Arts' production, The Love Show.
That is the what's what for now...post again soon. And check back for some rehearsal video soon.
Happy February!

Back to work.
We are back at work for our show in May. The four of us got together this morning and worked on character movement. Good progress for a first rehearsal in the year 2009. There is much work to be done. Yikes!

We need your support!
Dear Friends and Family,
As many of you already know, MOTH Aerial Dance: Movement Of The Heart, a new performing arts company located in beautiful Southern Vermont was launched in September of 2008. MOTH will be debuting its first full-length show, Channeling, in April 2009, inspired by four American Women who swam the English Channel in 1926.
We are currently in rehearsals three days out of the week, collaborating with dancers, choreographers and circus folks in the New England and New York areas. We are interviewing a local woman who swam the Channel 15 years ago, and hope to connect with more athletes that accomplished this amazing feat. This is truly an inspiring project, that touches upon a few themes such as women’s rights, the bikini, perseverance, and celebrity.
As exciting as this is, Channeling cannot happen without your support. Although we’re starting small, rigging/apparatuses, rehearsal space, theater rental, tech crew, costumes, promotion, and a website don’t come free. That’s why we’re asking for your financial support. Large or small, your donation contributes to the tradition of art in small communities and will help MOTH get Channeling of the ground, literally and figuratively.
MOTH is comprised of Deena Marcum Frank, dancer/founder/Artistic Director, and dancer/collaborators Amanda Goble, Aimee Hancock, and Bronwyn Sims. Channeling is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization.
Contributions in behalf of MOTH are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Please send to Deena Frank, 66 Highlawn Rd. Apt 102, Brattleboro, VT, 05301. Checks should be made payable to Fractured Atlas, with Channeling in the memo line.
Thank you for your generous support. Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
Deena Marcum Frank
Artistic Director
