I have come to realize that making a new dance and recording it, editing it, and posting it online has come to feel like what I do as an artist. It began as sort of an interesting idea, a large interesting idea, because I could have made a dance a week or just dances online but I chose dance a day. This week I purchased danceaday.com to make the site easier to find. I find this exciting.
Also the first videos of the same event photographed and edited by two different videographers was posted today so check them out.

Today it has been two weeks since I started posting a dance-a-day. Two days ago someone commented on one blog that the future of dance as I see it will not happen. I think is is happening as I see it because I am making it happen. I call the movement Pre-Futurist because I believe in taking action now not in the future. We don't need the Internet to live but we sure do use it. If we use it well it can help us. I believe that we have to continue to innovate and grow. The Internet has changed things and we should not ignore the possibilities.

I started making new dance everyday for about two weeks now and it is going very well. I decided to make two dance a day blogs because I had so much material. danceaday and boriswillismoves It has become a ritual for me to take my camera out everyday and tape myself dancing. It is amazingly rewarding to make art and to make it available for the world. My friends also make dances and contribute to the site. Mostly I have been improvising my movement but sometimes like the video I made yesterday, I thought of a concept and made it happen. Today's video on danceaday uses some stop motion and I continue with the double solo idea. Because the movement is improvised there are times when I don't like what I do or the energy drops so I cut it out and make a transition. I try to keep the videos under two minutes and vary the dances to get out of my movement habits.

I started a new blog this week http://danceaday.blogspot.com because I realized last week in class that I was not making art just commenting on it. So now I am making art everyday and I look forward to it every evening. I made my first post on Friday May 11 based on a presentation I did for a history class. I even have my friends involved in making daily dances. I am not sure how to handle all of the videos at this point. Do I only post one dance a day or do I post several dances a day by different people. I also have a problem with the descriptions of the daily dances not showing up in iTunes.

Here I am with the man himself, Vernon Reid just before he signed my Living Colour cassette. Last night's show was on fire and it is still burning.
