Claire Barratt (dance) Dean Stiglitz (electro flute) Ramona (hammer dulcimer) Bob McCloskey (reeds and percussion) Doctor T (images and video mixing) Helena Schniewind (live video) Claire Elizabeth Barratt has a Dance and Musical Theater background, with training received in her native country of Britain at the London Studio Center of Performing Arts and the Laban Center for Movement and Dance. She spent ten years in the southern states of Tennessee and North Carolina, where she held the position of Co -Director for "Circle Modern Dance" as well as choreographing for Opera, Musical Theater, Music Video, Commercials and collaborating with Multi-Media, Film, Visual, Music and Literary Artists. Now based in New York, she runs "Cilla Vee Movement Projects", a multi-disciplinary performing arts company, performing in the US, Canada, Europe and Japan. Two principal company projects are "Motion Sculpture" and the "Sound Of Movement". She served a one-year apprenticeship with Lori Belilove & Company of the Isadora Duncan Dance Foundation and is performance curator for Haven Gallery and an adjunct faculty member of DanceSpace 637 in Ottawa, Ontario. Claire has been featured in Art Basel Miami, the Washington DC International Improv Festival, the Transmodern Age and High Zero Festivals in Baltimore, MD and the Dans/CE Kapital Festival in Ottawa. Recent activities include a month in France, working with musicians in the Paris improv scene and the US West Coast "Sound Of Movement" tour, performing improvised collaborations with musicians from Seattle to San Diego. "My work as a movement artist blurs boundaries and crosses categories. Re-defining the traditional concepts of a "piece", challenging the conventions of choreography, performance, time, space and audience relationships". Doctor T (Emile S Tobenfeld)'s artistic sensibility is strongly influenced by his education (Ph.D in Physics), and his fascination with improvisation in all forms. His sonic and visual experiments apply a scientist's and photographer's eye for texture, geometry, form, and the interaction of light and surface, a strong sense of collage, and an abiding curiosity about technology's use in creating music and visual art. He performs frequently as a 'VJ' doing improvisational live mixing and processing of source materials that he creates from still images, video and computer graphics. He first performed visual improvisations with live music in 1973. His most recent performances were at the Electro-Music 2006 festival in Philadelphia, where he performed with about a dozen different musical ensembles. He performs regularly with an ensemble called "Immersions", an ensemble with rotating personnel, anchored by Doctor T and Dean Stiglitz on Electro Flute. His most recent releases are two DVD-R's, The Space Broom Experiment, recorded live with The Lothars in Nov, 2005, and Immersions 2005, culled from three live performances from 2005. Previous releases include Eyewash, May 11, 2005), recorded live in New York with Dean Stiglitz and dancer Claire Barratt, Video Mandalas (A DVD_R reissue of a 1996 studio video based on symmetry, and a CD-R (Data from Recent Experiments), recorded live in the studio primarily in 2001 and 2002. Doctor T is best known for the innovative sequencing software he wrote for Dr. T's Music Software (one of the first music software companies. His current 'day job' is writing video effects software for Boris Fx, much of which he uses in his own video work.
