Planned as an opportunity for the artists to present their work to a select group of collectors, the evening was well attended and artists were able to speak about their work and themselves.

FotoFest 2004 - Water Inspires Dance and Music Performance
The Michele Brangwen Dance Ensemble is planning a special concert program February 12 - 13, inspired by FotoFest's recent 10th Anniversary Biennial, FotoFest 2004 - Water.
BLACK RAIN, a new work by choreographer Michele Brangwen and composer Thomas Helton, explores the dark poetry of rain by looking back to the fallout at two Ground Zeros - Hiroshima, and Lower Manhattan after the 9/11 attacks - with a cautionary look into the future under radioactive world leadership. The concerts will also include visual components from FotoFest.
Performances are scheduled for the Barnevelder Movement Arts Complex, 2202 Preston at Hutchins, Houston, Texas. Please visit www.brangwendance.org or call (713) 533-9515 for more information.
