A Roundup Of Our Recent New York Live Arts Promo Videos
Live Arts has been a collaborator for a while now.
I recently had a quick in-person meeting with Lili and Tyler (Graphics Designer and Communications Director) at Live Arts and was reminded how fun it is to work with them.
We have created a system of working together. I think of it as structured improv.
We worked really hard to create a structure in how we create promotional videos to market their shows, however, each show has its own unique challenge. Because of this, we collaborate on how we can shift a bit within that structure. It has become a great way of collaborating and has really set us up for success.
Here are a few examples of projects we have worked on this year:
New York Live Arts | Institutional Video 2019
“The residency program is invaluable because it gives you time to develop a piece, to rehearse, to present through a series of showings to the public.”
– Walter Dundervill
Kota Yamazaki / Fluid Hug-Hug | Darkness Odessy Part 3: Non-Opera, Becoming
“Darkness Odyssey Part 3 is the final chapter in Yamazaki’s Darkness Odyssey series. Inspired by the writings of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Darkness Odyssey explores the concept of the body as a black hole.” via New York Live Arts
Live Ideas 2019 | AI: Are You Brave Enough For The Brave New World?
“Live Ideas is an annual humanities festival of arts and ideas, exploring the ideas, controversies and thinking informing a different bodily-oriented theme each time out.”
– New York Live Arts
