Tanya Taylor FW 2016

Worked on the music for Tanya Taylor's FW 2016 presentation (mostly creative direction and piano) with Trevor Gureckis aka My Great Ghost. He's an incredibly talented composer and producer. In fact, he worked on some of the latest Kanye album, The Life of Pablo, and some of his stuff made it onto the final! Anyway, this show was so beautiful and it's best you see it rather than read about it, so here are photos of my favorite looks...and Beatrix Ost because she was there and I just had to take a picture of her!

SAUNDER AW16 Presentation

NYFW always brings about some craziness for me, whether or not I'm working on music for a show (which I am...more on that later). It seems EVERYTHING happens during fashion week; perhaps it's just the nature of February. 

Yesterday I went from my Target Margin Theater Fellowship breakfast, to workshopping my new piece with choreographer Coco Karol, to the SAUNDER Presentation. Emily Saunders took an interesting approach to her show: models walked in between parallel yellow ropes as a circular runway, a dance performance by Grace Rising Dance happened in the middle of the presentation, then the models re-entered the space in the same way wearing different looks. I also want to mention that the production designer, Benjamin Heller, is Coco's boyfriend...the world keeps getting smaller! I couldn't catch the rest of the show because I had to go somewhere important but a little less exciting: in front of my computer to catch a webinar on corporate giving. Womp, womp!
