Photo shoot at 'Anita's Way' on May 18

I received a space grant - residency at 'Anita's Way'- the pedestrian through-block connecting 42nd and 43rd Street, between Broadway and 6th Ave.  I will  be creating Architecture Runway, a site specific work for 10 dancers and live percussion.

The Company will be rehearsing on-site during the month of July, and the FREE performances are on July 26 and 27 @ 1PM.

These photos by Rodney Zagury were taken during our photo and video shoot on May 18th, when we had a glimpse of our upcoming residency. And it's WILD! Passersby took photos, made comments, and stopped to watch us.

On April 4-7, 2002 I premiered my first evening length piece "Maria Vai Com As Outras" at the Merce Cunningham Studio. We had a blast! And I was so proud of my dancers and collaborators!

Fridays @ Noon with The Field

I had the pleasure of performing my new Solo last Friday at the 92nd Street Y's Fridays @ Noon, as part of The Field's 25th year celebration. The program also included works by Neta Pulvermacher and Yanira Castro, and the first part of the event included showing clips of past works.

I showed a 4 minute clip of the entrance solo of  my evening length work Leave Yourself At The Door, Please! 2003, performed at Joyce SoHo.

The performances were followed by a lively conversation with 5th graders.

Impressions from the audience:

"Witty and sophisticated! The text is just enough to hint at you, and it doesn't hit you over the head!"
Sean Curran, Choreographer


"I look forward to seeing more of your work!"
Deborah, John and Sylvia


"Loved it! There was plenty of humor, suspense, sarcasm and beautiful movement" Roger, Visual artist


"Great to see a dance show with plenty of DANCE!"
Doug


"I saw Regina in her new performance on Tuesday August 16 and I really enjoyed it. I especially loved the dialogue coupled with the contemporary dance. Regina is a wonderful dancer and doesn't spare any movement. Life is an ongoing movement process and we continue although sometimes we don't know where we are going. Life dilemas are always a part of it.

Thanks for inviting me. Keep me posted with any new events."
Henrietta, occupational therapist
