I started a new job yesterday as the inaugural Artist Curator In Residence for @worksandprocess at @guggenheim ✨ My first day was very full-circle as I moderated performance discussions for @_naomi.funaki_ ‘s W&P show. Naomi has performed in my work for many years, and now she’s developing her own choreographic voice.

I’m grateful for this new curatorial role… I still love being a performer and making things, but it’s equally gratifying to support other artists in their journeys, and this new gig will let me do that in greater ways.

(Also, Aria! Yay!)

My dad and I did a cabaret performance together a few years ago, and we had such a good time... So we’re doing it again!

Come hear original songs by singer-songwriter-raconteur Kenny Karen, some standards, lots of singing, some dancing (mostly by me), a good amount of humor, and stay for the cathartic experience of a healthy father-child relationship expressed at a notably Gay establishment.

My dad is 82 and in great health, but my heritage compels me to say ‘Ya never know!’ and encourage you to come see what could be our final performance together 😉

Ten years ago, I had just made my first handful of longer (10-20 minutes) choreographic works. Like a lot of just-starting-out choreographers, I was so exhilarated and so tired and just trying to build mountains on ant-hill budgets.

So, when @frandpapa curated me onto the @gibneydance DoublePlus program, I said “No more big casts and massive schedule spreadsheets. I’m taking this small commissioning fee, and I’m gonna make a 25-minute duet with someone… But with whom?”

So I emailed Nathan Bugh @bughthere , a dancer who had left an impression on me while dancing in the Lindy Hop company, Syncopated City (shoutout @themichaeljagger and @evita_in_sync ). I was still a baby Lindy Hopper, but I hoped that, if Nathan and I put our heads together, we might come up with something.

“Meet Ella”, our first work together, started one of the most meaningful artistic partnerships of my life. It also led to a deeper personal investment of myself in jazz idioms outside of Tap Dance. Meet Ella was also the prototype that galvanized @swingout.show and, more broadly, a greater intersection of Lindy Hop on the concert stage and with schmancy arts organizations.

So, while I usually consider anniversary outings a bit too navel-gaze-y for my taste, we’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of Meet Ella next month with a re-staging for ten of my favorite jazz dancers.
