The
Earth and Artists Responding to Violence:
Dance and Music Celebrate FotoFest’s Dual Themed
2006 Biennial
March 24,
2006
The Michele Brangwen
Dance Ensemble, in association with FotoFest, presents
an evening of contemporary dance and music that celebrates
the Festival’s 2006 Biennial themes: The
Earth and Artists
Responding to Violence. The performance is Friday,
March 24 at 8:00 p.m. at Zilkha Hall, Hobby Center.
The evening features a performance of Black
Rain, a work by choreographer Michele Brangwen and
composer Thomas Helton, that explores the dark poetry
of rain by looking back to the fallout at two Ground
Zeros -- Hiroshima after the bomb, and the destruction
of Lower Manhattan after the 9/11 attacks -- with
a cautionary look into the future under radioactive
world leadership.

Lianzhou International
Photoweek
Lianzhou, China,
November, 2005 |
"Wendy and I had a
remarkable introduction to Chinese photography during
the week we spent at Lianzhou International Photoweek
last November. The purpose of the trip was to investigate
the possibilities of increasing FotoFest’s connections
with Chinese photographers and photographic institutions
but what we found took us way beyond the usual scope of
photography."
