More About Me

I'm passionate about

Sculpture, moral human issues, modern dance

An idea worth spreading

The unknown factor in corporate structure. Steve jobs, background in Caligraphy, created the intuitive vision needed for Apple to excel. Therefore corporations would be wise to hire creative artists, to oversee, ongoing thinking, planning, and creation or manufacturing of projects within the company. Just "free minds, or intuitive's.

Talk to me about

Creating a New Ballet from never having done it before, from vision, to design to creating musical composition.

People don't know that I'm good at

understanding dance and movement.

My TED Story

I have created out of no where a full length, story 2 hour long new Ballet, based on my large scale sculptures "Coil series", and I have even written the music.
I have also found a unique way to create this ballet, using pre-visualization animation, story boarding techniques, that allow for blocking set, dance choreography, and music together before production rehearsals start providing a total vision of mood, energy, movement, lighting and music

    Jul 15 2012: Pat, excellent point about viral realm as a tool, as well as new internet platforms, that inform and entertain us. Altermatives, such as the independent film world, other new resources may be needed?

    Thank you

  • A comment on Talk: Janet Echelman: Taking imagination seriously

    Feb 29 2012: I love what you have created, patterns and forms, reshaping the inifinite. I just created my first NEW Ballet and using story board animation to create, block the dancing, and allowed me to write the musical score for a two hour story Ballet. I had never imagined or done this, i was by the suggestion of another artist pal: about my large scale sculptures the "Coil series". he said "I can see dancers in it, moving". And I looked and saw a ballet, of shifting and surging emotions, forms and more. Well, now the Peninsula Ballet wants to produce it, and others also. I had taken a major leap into another world, every moment was there, every sound etc. The ballet's first three scenes can be seen online at: http://youtu.be/_1PTIDKEY7w
