We're hard at work on Bed, Breakfast, and Bathtub, a site-specific piece that will be performed in Erin's house - a Victorian flat near Alamo Square Park. It's getting exciting... we're in the process of choreographing duets in the bathtub, the bed, and at the kitchen table, which is entertaining us much more than choreographing for the stage at the moment. The whole event (in September) is going to feature a houseful of dance and music. Did I say music? Why yes! Also exciting are the live musicians who will be playing original music in each room: Thomas Boyles, Bekah Barnett, and Scott Simón

Oh, and we're going to make the whole glorious thing into a video too!
