Cool weather/highway-driving helmet.
Back in it’s resting spot.
So my time in Saratoga Springs with NYCB is now officially over…
:(
I returned to the city yesterday, arriving tired but in one piece. (Can’t exactly say the same for all the buggies decorating the front of my helmet.)
I thought I’d give you one last little montage of images that haven’t made it on yet, before going back into NYC-posting mode….
Aaron Severini, dancer and composer extraordinaire,
in the SPAC parking lot. (that’s Adrian on his Vespa in the background.) I’m still kicking myself for missing his concert at the National Arts Club last month, but I’ll be sure to make it next time and give all of you plenty of notice as well!
The pool portion of the historic Victoria Pool.
(I think I only showed you the lounge area before.) This was a nice place to try to squeeze in some aquatic physical therapy. Wish there were one of these downtown.
My favorite person rode up to spend July 4th with me.
We had grand plans of trying to fit in a stop at Victoria Pool, or a quick ride up to Lake George, but alas, it rained for the entire 24 hours that he was here. Check out the fun stuff he designed for an article about improving the Bloomberg Terminal.
The SPAC dressing room scene.
Look, windows!
The Parting Glass, a downtown Saratoga Pub.
After the show on Friday night this was the only place in town that we could find still serving food. It gradually became populated with more and more dancers as the evening progressed.
Note to Saratoga restaurants… if you serve food late, they will come.
Joe from the NYCB press department, giving Mr. Albert Evans a final approval of photos appearing in the next brochure.
Stephanie Zungre, vocals. Aaron Severini, piano.
During Romeo + Juliet intermission.
Booooo. Theater case is packed.

R+J video for coolhunting.com at Saratoga Performing Arts Center
To my surprise, as my parents and I walked out of the covered section of the SPAC ampitheater during intermission, we saw that they were playing the video I made for Cool Hunting on the making of Romeo + Juliet. It’s a bit different than the Tragic Love videos, as I used music by a band named Au Revoir Simone (thanks Rod!) and it’s a bit of an overview of what was covered in those 9 videos. Any how, it was pretty cool seeing it projected outside on the three big screens in Saratoga.

So I made this 9th and final episode for New York City Ballet’s Tragic Love NYC site (9 episodes because it’s NYCB’s 9th full length production) before I knew that the site where the videos were playing would be taken down the day the production was over. (Sad, but you can’t blame them. The cost of bandwith for running all those videos on the site was probably not fun)
Anyhow… fortunately I got the ok to post the videos on Blip.tv and on Apple’s iTunes as well, so you will be able to view the final episode (and the previous 8 episodes) through those links.
This one was kind of emotional to put together, AND to film. I think that after being so engrossed in the making of the production, finally seeing it come together, and knowing everyone and what they went through to make it happen was a very emotional experience. (I was actually tearing up while shooting the hugging and kissing that happened back stage after the show).
Thanks so much to everyone I shot and interviewed. I know it’s not fun to have someone following you around with a video camera, but it was a pleasure talking with you all and I think the people who have seen the videos are very appreciative, as am I. Also a big thanks to NYCB, particularly Ken Tabachnick for suggesting the project, and Siobhan and Joe for setting up interviews and helping arrange all the times that I could come in and shoot. I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to work on this project and to interact with all the artists in a new and different way.
Enjoy the last video!
