- About Me (human):
- I am a videodancemaker as well as a producer, choreographer, dancer, arts administrator, and blogger based in New York. Currently I am the project director of Movement Media at Pentacle, a not-for-profit dance service organization in NYC. With Movement Media I curate a monthly dance screening series called Kinetic Cinema in which I invite different guests from the dance community to share the films and videos that have inspired their work in dance, and I publish a blog about videodance called Move the Frame in which I explore and write about many topics related to dance for the camera.
With my multi-media production company, Straight to the Helicopter I have produced evening length concerts and various short dance films. I am currently in production phase of a new videodance called Fünf 'n' Twist to be finished this summer.
In 2008 I finished my studies at The New School's Media Management Certificate Program (part of their MA Media Studies Program) where I learned about the business of media to help me in my dream of promoting dance through media. Lastly, I also work as a fiscal administrator for dance companies at Pentacle (www.pentacle.org), where I help artists manage their money.

* Performance. The company produced AvoiDances, an evening length dance concert in 2003. Performances were held outdoors at three public parks in Brooklyn as well as an indoor theatrical run at the Williamsburg Art neXus (WAX). We are currently working on a new interactive performance ritual entitled Purification Ritual for a Shamed Politician to be performed in private homes as well as public spaces in 2009/10.
* Videodance. Works include Human:Trash (2003), Trash Processional (2003) –screened at the BAC International Film Festival, Untitled States of America (2004), and Fist City (2006) – made in collaboration with Sasha Welsh and Robbie Cook and screened at the Philly Fringe Fest 9/1/06. Currently in production is Fünf ‘n’ Twist a narrative short about American adolescence on both a cultural and individual scales.
* Television. In August of 2004 the company produced and aired the pilot episode of Move the Frame a videodance television series on Brooklyn Community Access Television (BCAT). Curated, directed and produced by Anna Brady Nuse, each episode of Move the Frame was comprised of short videodances from across the country and around the world. Hosted by dancer and curator, Marya Wethers, films were introduced and accompanied by a short interview with one of the filmmakers. Seven episodes were made and have aired on BCAT and Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN).
* Screenings. The company has programmed videodance screenings at Monkey Town—a restaurant and multi-channel screening room in Williamsburg, Brooklyn—and Galapagos Art Space with the Dance Film Lab and the Dance Films Association. In January 2008 Anna Brady Nuse began curating Kinetic Cinema, a monthly dance film screening series at Collective:Unconscious in which a different artist is invited each month to show dance 0r kinetic-based films and videos that have inspired them.This series is now co-presented by Pentacle’s Movement Media and Chez Bushwick and takes place in Brooklyn at Chez Bushwick on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.
* Blog. In late September 2007, the company launched Move the Frame blog on GreatDance.com, featuring videos, commentary, interviews, and discussion on the themes of dance for the camera. In Fall of 2008 Move the Frame became the official blog of Movement Media, a new project of the dance service org, Pentacle, where Anna Brady Nuse is project director.

Die deutsche Installationskünstlerin schlägt neuerdings einen heiteren, milderen Ton an, was nicht unbedingt ihr Stärke ist. Eine Ausstellung in den Hamburger Deichtorhallen. - Photography exhibition at the British Library | Culture | The Guardian
The early Victorians were the first generation to see themselves through the camera lens, but the idea of photography, the possibility of making an exact reproduction of visual experience, was one – like flight and the philosophers' stone – that had haunted the imagination of inventors for centuries. - Submission | Pictoplasma | Berlin
an open CALL FOR ENTRIES for the Festival's big screen animation programs. - In pictures: Earth - Art of a changing world | Environment | guardian.co.uk
Pictures from Earth: Art of a Changing World is a new exhibition at the Royal Academy, London, bringing together over 30 leading international contemporary artists to examine the impact of global climate change on humanity through visual art, installation and sculpture. The exhibition opens on 3 December 2009 and runs until 31 January 2010 - Orchestrations | Flanders Today
Raes has been dedicated to the promotion and performance of experimental music and sound art for more than 40 years. He and partner, Moniek Darge, were named “cultural ambassadors” to Flanders in 1997 for their pioneering performances and extensive travels as the Logos Duo. - ArtSlant - November 14th - December 22nd, Galerie Polaris, Matthias Bruggmann
Matthias Bruggmann est photographe reporter, et même plus précisément « photographe de guerre », les territoires qu’il photographie sont la Somalie, l’Afghanistan, l’Irak, Haïti. Ces populations qu’approche de très près l’artiste, et qui le considèrent souvent avec méfiance, se trouvent prises dans d’importants bouleversements sociaux politiques. - ArtSlant - November 6th - December 23rd, Galerie Taiss, klavdij sluban
Klavdij Sluban se déplace à pied à travers les villes d'un Far Est abandonné, où sont passés les habitants ? Il en reste quelques-uns, emmitonnés dans le brouillard, quelques bêtes en fuite ou le dos au mur. À la recherche d'êtres humains, le photographe insiste au-delà de l'Europe, il pénètre en Asie, Russie, Mongolie, Chine, avec le transsibérien, mais il ne rencontre aucune densité humaine. Partout, la géographie prédomine et rend l'espèce humaine négligeable. - ArtSlant - November 5th - January 3rd, 2010, Galerie Blue Square, Doris Kloster-Folliet, John Lucas, Vladimir Sichov, Alexei Titarenko, Alexei Vassiliev
Pour commencer sa troisième année d!existence, la galerie blue square est heureuse de présenter une exposition collective de cinq photographes qui ont chacun travaillé sur des représentations nostalgiques de l!ex Union Soviétique. La première exposition de la galerie rassemblant des artistes de l!Ouest comme de l!Est participe également auxc ommémorations du 20ème anniversaire de la chute du Mur de Berlin en présentant une série exceptionnelle de photographies de Keith Haring peignant sur le Mur et prise par le photographe russe Vladimir Sichov en 1986.

This is Sarah A.O. - we met at the Kinetic Cinema screening @ Chez Bushwick a few weeks ago. This is the production company that I work for. I know you mentioned wanting to offer some workshops as part of move the frame, and I know that reels is looking for ways to become more involved with the dance community. I'd love to chat a little more with you about what you might be looking for, and help out where it's needed (either as a part of reels or as an individual).
Hope you're well!
