mosquitos and a new member!

we're getting eaten alive here. i wake up every morning with a new red, itchy splotch from a mosquito. this morning's lucky winner is my thumb! yesterday it was my earlobe and my eyelid. they know how to pick the awkward spots, eh?

the pressing matter at hand is jasmine leaving tomorrow for groningen. she will be away on the weekdays, to return each friday evening. with this time line, and having mapped out how many days we'll have together to shoot, we've been focusing on her film. i think we've made really good progress on the choreography. we are having fun improvising in the kitchen, and have choreographed the first half of the piece in the upstairs /on the staircase.

lastly in the news, we have a new addition to our house! from this wednesday until 25 july, hope davis will be joining us. she is a beautiful dancer and photographer i met while she was at the springboard project in montreal this summer, and we hit it off right away. i proposed that she join us to document some of our process (seeing as jasmine and i are not actually photographers - could you tell?) and we settled it in three emails back & forth. you'll find a link to her site at the bottom of the page.

and so ... from this sunday until wednesday, i will have the opportunity to work - just squashed a mosquito! - uninterrupted on my piece. solo time. you'll be hearing from me a lot then.
