Video of LAXART Gala performance

Written By Allison Wyper

I was invited to perform in a fun piece by Flora Wiegmann, Nina Waisman, and Thomas Lawson for the annual gala benefitting LAXART, at the gorgeous Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. Dancer Jos McKain and I worked with Flora for several weeks devising movement for the interactive sound and painting installation created by Nina and Tom.

Here's a short video from the twenty-minute performance.

'Til You Drop Commissioned by LAXART for the Greystone Gala 2014. 'Til You Drop, a collaboration between Thomas Lawson, Nina Waisman and Flora Wiegmann, is an interactive installation of image, color, sound, and movement. The installation, sound and performance work loosely with the idea of a public celebration or carnival, addressing the fun, the excess, and the aftermath of the party.
