One of the greatest things about having an office smack dab in the middle of downtown Missoula is that it's easy to network and collaborate with other artists. In fact, I share my office space with Hana's and my friend, Joy French, who is choreographer at the Downtown Dance Collective.
Joy's modern dance company is called Bare Bait Dance. Last Friday they began their full-scale production "Views from Grandma's Porch" which explores a tapestry of rural themes. Hana and I--thanks to Mom taking care of Stevie--went last Saturday and were thoroughly enchanted. Joy is a real story teller and she and her dancers, musicians, and stage hands, give it everything they have, physically and emotionally.
Here's a recent write-up by Joe Nickell: New Modern Dance Company Steps into Missoula Spotlight. Tickets for this weekend, FYI, are still available, but going fast.
When the weather warms up, Joy plans to take her troupe to some Montana ghost towns and record a video, and she may use one of my songs for the music. If so, I'm thinking "Horse Graveyard."
