Some Words
A sample of Adrianna Aguilar and Shaun Mitchell playin' around in the studio.
"It is our dance together-it doesn't just belong to one of us" says Adrianna.
"Yeah, you're the cake, and I'm the icing," adds Shaun.
Hope you enjoy this piece. And come back for seconds on August 28th at Spike Hill.
Tap dancer Samara Seligsohn and pianist Solomon Hoffman knew nothing of each other before being paired to create a work.
"I normally am a little nervous about choreographing" says Seglisohn, "But with this dance, it is my song. We can do whatever we want."
"Samara and I found a common language to speak" adds Hoffman.
"Yeah, and it's cool to make something from nothing; the dance is what it is and will be."

A little flavor of what dancer Kambi Gathesha is working on with guitarist Aleksi Glick.
See the piece in full on August 28th from 7-8 at Spike Hill in Brooklyn.
TREES-The Rhythm Encompassing Every Sound
For most of our pairs, this project is the first time we have met one another.
I had not met my partner, Shaun Mitchell, a trumpet player, until a month ago. It is our first time working together and Shaun's first time collaborating with a dancer.
"I'm just having fun. Let's play."-a fairly normal rehearsal quote from Shaun.
Can't wait for you to see us playing around on the stage.
-Shaun and Adrianna
Trumpet Player, Shaun Mitchell
