Sporttube.dance

Hi everyone! It's been a hectic few days as RDS Company and I go around promoting the Sporttube.dance project on TV and radio. School children from all over Slovakia are encouraged to get up and move and take up dance and movement as a sport. To that end, we are motivating them to use the sporttube internet portal to upload their creative dance videos. Sporttube asked me to judge the winners of the contest, so I'm definitely looking forward to seeing some smart videos. Below is the radio spot at Europa 2 (was an early morning!)

Work Imaginations

Midweek and caught up in the middle of work here at the camp! This week, I photograph Nickie in her edgy leopard print coat, fur vest, and chic black jeans. Sometimes I like to imagine myself in different positions, like what I would be doing if I didn't create, teach, or dance. I can imagine Nickie as one of the cool tour guides inside the palace or maybe working as a curator inside the palace museum where we shot this.

In other work stuff, next week I will be promoting the Sporttube.dance campaign with radio station Europa 2. The rules: groups are to send in their videos to the sporttube site to the music that Europa 2 will play on 15th of November. Rules here: (hope you can read Czech/Slovak).

LIIIIIIVE!

Fall Inspiration in Schonnbrunn Park

Model: Nickie Stoicheva

It is a national public holiday all over Europe today! Taking advantage of all these sunny Autumn Austrian days by shooting Nickie in one of my favorite parks in all of Vienna - Schonnbrunn Park in the 12th District - literally our backyard! Usually, I go here to read, study some words in German, or eat lunch (when it's warmer). The Hapsburgs royals used the grounds to vacation in every summer during the empire days, and has a great castle, one of Europe's oldest zoos, and if you have the energy to climb up the hill, one of the best views of the city!

While Mercury is in retrograde for the next 10 days, I tend to do plenty of reflection and reconnecting with old friends, which is a great idea anyways weather one of the planets is going backwards or not. Quiet alone time here is one of the best places to contemplate and recharge your creative juices!

Have a great weekend everyone!
