Bogliasco Voyeur
It is a joy to get to know this group of invitees to The Liguria Study Center for the Arts and Humanities in Bogliasco. Of course I know Jane Goldberg, the forerunner in bringing tap to “downtown dance.” She has been sharing amazing stories and in particular her friendship with Gregory Hines. Often included in these dynamic discussions is Lee Hyla, a contemporary composer who is inspired by his roots in hard rock. Diana Cooper, interdisciplinary visual artist, does large scale installations. Her work is currently on exhibition at The Boiler, Brooklyn 191 n. 14 street, Brooklyn. Ramona Badescu is a renowned writer of children’s books. I am really excited because I bought her book “Pomelo Begins to Grow” on Amazon. The book was originally written in French, and has since been translated into several languages. Alla Kovgan is beginning a second dance film in collaboration with David Hinton inspired by the works of Korean choreographer Eun-Me Ahn. The first film in this series was “Nora”, based on the life of Zimbabwean-born dancer Nora Chipaumire. I will have the opportunity to learn more about the other Fellows, as we will begin to share presentations. Mine is the last – thank goodness.

“Performance Mix Festival has its own life, and Karen and the staff continue to evolve with the times in a way I appreciate…it was tremendous to be a Liftoff AIR and then get to show the work I had continued to explore as an AIR a year later at PMF!”
