An Effable Choreographer Draws Inspiration from Caracas, Venezuela

Choreographers' Canvas (On the Road) Part I:

A ridiculous modern/contempory dancer/choreographer/ex-ballerina turned musical theater triple threat and true artist, Sarah Bumgarner, knows what she wants...or does she?

While traversing the Americas for her "day job," Sarah seeks refuge from the everyday in finding news way of communication through dance. Sampled below is a solo she created for Effable Co-founder, Brad Landers, in an effort to portray the trials of the constant comfort flux while on tour and the ways in which we try to find relaxation in everchanging habitats. A work in progress: this is Sarah and Brad taking advantage of a gorgeous studio in the gym of their hotel in Caracas, Venezuela. Watch as Brad becomes progressively unclear of what the middle of the piece is ;).

Stay tuned for more to come from the collaborative dance minds of Sarah Bumgarner and Brad Landers....

psssssst, it goes a little something like; a (work in progress) movement piece in one act, involving both a narrative thread and many styles and forms of dance encapsulated in one jazz club on one timeless evening.

Effable's Own Jenny Anderson Takes Bushwick

So, after a much-needed post-show hiatus, we're back and rolling.

Updates:

1. This September's SCL: 20Nothings was an eff-ing SOLD OUT success, largely due to the contributions of roughly 3 dozen actors, assistants, volunteers, playwrights, directors, dancers, artists and choreographers, not to mention all the friends, family and donors. We were, and are, literally without words to express the thanks and enthusiasm. So, since we're out of words, click through and look at THESE PRETTY PICTURES FROM THE SHOW INSTEAD.

2. We've got new projects in the works!! More on that later.

3. Photographer and Effable Resident Artist Jenny Anderson, whose absolutely fantastic debut portrait series was ogled and adored as part of SLC: 20Nothings, was recently named one of the Top 25 hottest new photography talents to watch by Brooklyn-based gallery and art mecca 3rd Ward. We were going to blog all about how proud (and honored) we are to work with this immensely talented woman, and how much prouderer we were to see her art on the walls of a gallery we truly love.

But then Effable tech mastermind and real-life writer Zac Wilson beat us to it and made a video. 

So, without further ado, here's what went down with Jenny Anderson's big show, as scored by Lady Gaga (thanks Zac). Keep your eyes peeled for many Effable cameos amid the hipsteratti of Brooklyn:
