East Village Follies

When I rescued the companion to this video, eastvillagefollies, which will be called queen of green, a very definitive look at the NY part of this massive shoot will be complete, the latter being a classical extravaganza, if one can use such a term for a solo dance.

Tompkins Square Park may well be the most intimate and comprehensive public park anywhere, with more venues for children than I cared to count, most of them the swirling set for this sequence of dances.

You will hear the police radio mention the indian burial grounds, which are not in the shoot because of my own ancestry in the Sioux nations, and because the sound coming from them, their being located in the center of the park with not infrequent drumming was more important to the dance.

Benches abound, and because Diane is a park regular, I became one too. Also omitted is the dog park, complete with concrete statue of a giant bone.

You will see cuts from this enchanted NY city park in many of our videos, but my favorite venue is where we shot The Dirty Boogie, a family area where the drinking fountain is a lion's head.

I once held a toddler, struggling to pull himself up to drink on one of these wonderous hot hot June days in 07. He drank deeply and ran off and I did not see him with anyone else the whole afternoon. He eventually vanished, seemingly right there.

Here in the hardest winter since I built my cabin deep in the rocky wilderness near lake superior, I miss this place more than anywhere I have ever been.
