RANT was an experimental performance group at SUNY Buffalo that included, but wasn't limited to, Ric Royer, Monica Karwan, Chelsea Warren, and Brett Masteller. For this 2003 final project show, Monica, Chelsea, and Brett used texts by me and Ric and wrote music and choreographed the poems. My poems were from birdbook. The performers in the pictures below are Monica Karwan, Chelsea Warren, Annelise Abrams, and Meg Massalone.

This was the program for the performance, it was a big white canvas strung up on the side of the stage.

For this piece, the poem was projected onto the floor and the dancers interacted with the words.



70x70 Blue-eyed Grass
Considering how little I had to do with this production (I knew the RANT people, and they knew my aesthetics/poetics, but all I did was write some poems), I was really impressed with the way it turned out. It looked like my poems.

There will be more pictures, choreography sketches, sound samples, scores, and video once I have access to those things.
