February 6-8, 2008: Avant Media artists Dani Beauchamp and Ana Baer-Carrillo will be teaching a 3 day masterclass at the Chattanooga High School Center for Creative Arts, a fine arts magnet school in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In addition to classes in choreography, videography, and collaboration, the artists will also set a new piece on the Project Motion Dance Ensemble.
“Anger” World Premiere
On January 25, 2007 Avant Media presented the world premiere of Anger the pivotal immersion performance with music by Randy Gibson and video by Ana Baer-Carrillo. Additional artists included Alicia Wargo – sculptures and costumes; Oscar Henriquez – video typography; Mike Rugnetta – guitar, banjo and pre-show music; and Laine Rettmer – voice.
The performance, held at 20 Greene in SoHo, NYC, was completely sold out. Thank you to all of our audience members and supporters who came out for this one-night-only event. This is sure to be a piece that will continue its evolution and become on of Avant Media’s signature performances. Plans are already in the works for expanded video sections and further musical development.
