As part of the Jump-Start-At-Large spirit (performance art taken to the people), several company members took to the street during Fiesta 2014 to play with those folks not able to get down to the folding chairs of privilege set aside for the paying citizens during the River Parade.
Below is the entire performance with video portions (which were projected during the run), here edited into this documentation.
Jump-Start Performance Co. annually stages their performance party at the beginning of each year. For 2014 (the final Performance Party to be held at their Blue Star home of over 20 years) Pamela Dean Kenny asked my help in creating a short film which could be screened during the event. Here she reads “The Secret Oral Teachings of the Sacred Walking Blues,” written by the late Sterling Houston, one of the central figures of Jump-Start for so many years.
My second Instagram movie. Certainly there’s nothing wrong with viewing one’s life through various lenses. Such as the ephemeral snapshots of a cell phone. Here we have a slice of my year (2013) from highlights of my Instagram feed. It seems that my life is crammed full of bicycle rides, enchilada plates, imprudent selfies, and oh so many pretty people. Life could be a lot worse. Music by my favorite Austin space rock ensemble, ST 37 (“Stack Collision with Heap”).
