They have a narrater who walks through the audience talking about what is happening on stage.
I focused on this particular performer because he had such a dramatic aura that drew me in. He had the least bizzare and minimal costume but was very effective hanging from the ceiling and moving with the music.
 Performed at the Dicapo Opera Theater on 76 street in Manhattan during the 3 week International Dance Festival 2006.
This  modern piece is a mixed media dance or fusion. it contained projected video, music, the spoken word,
humor and dance. This combination is also reflected in my work which is a mixture of photography, computer art, using painter and photoshop, and pastel.
This artwork won a first place award at the Salmagundi Art Club, appeared on the website for International Dance and was in several exhibitions at  SoHo Photo and Dicapo Opera Theater.
This kind of action works well with my loose activated colorful work that appears in many of my pieces. It is also dramatic ,as in this particular work, working well in Black and White
Their costumes remind me of Mozart's Magic Flute.
