O my how our family is growing with such fun and interesting people!
I’d like to welcome our latest addition, Ms. Nancy Garcia (on the left), who covers many interesting bases. I’ve read her bio, and have had some back and forth with her over email, and I am still trying to get a handle on all the things she does… and wants to do.
She’s currently a Masters student at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), which those of you who read my posts will know I’m very excited about. One of the projects she’s been working on involves 360 degree cameras and dance, and she is hoping it will be shown at ITP’s Spring Show in May. (You can see my post from their past Winter Show, here).
In addition to her creative technical pursuits, she is also a dancer, a choreographer, and a musician with her own band, Monotract. She says her work focuses on integrating the processes of soundmaking and dancemaking, in the studio and in performance. The people and places she has worked with are impressive… I can’t wait to see what she will share with us.
Welcome Nancy!

So I’ve just sent a complete pdf of all our Writing Contest entries to each of our contributors, from which we will choose two winners who will receive a winger t-shirt and have their current performances or projects promoted on the site.
However, if you forgot to write your piece, or thought you missed the deadline, there’s a chance you could slip in under the wire while our contributors are making their choices.
If you write fast, send your entry to wingers @ thewinger.com
Above is a photo of me during one of my “first performances”.
When I was little and I couldn’t get to sleep, my parents would turn on the music, I would put on my dad’s socks (not sure why?), and dance the night away.
Here’s one of our entries that’s in the running…

“I’ll tell the story about my first performance with the LemonHeads.
I got up on stage in front of thousands of people and performed my stupid human trick with a string up my nose and out of my mouth.
Thousands cheered, I won, I was awarded a new snowboard.
Crowd surfing followed.
True story. ”
Short and sweet.
