SOME NEWS
THESE ARE SOME THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY:
1. Portland streets covered in snow. The police car outside my coffee shop window is stuck in the snow. I love this.
2. I received a RACC project Grant for my performance event.space happening in early April, 2009. More info to come….
3. As Oregon’s representative, I am participating in Freedom of Information, a 24 hour performance/protest/ritual of continuous movement improvisation performed while blindfolded and ear-plugged, which is intended as a contemplative act of solidarity with those displaced by the wars, created by Miguel Gutierrez. I will be performing at Performance Works Northwest (the space ever so generously donated by Linda Austin) from December 31st to midnight, January 1st. People are encouraged to visit anytime during the performance. Thanks to my friend Mathew Foster, you can also view it at your own discretion at tahniholt.com/freedom-of-information-08 (it will go live starting at midnight on December 31st.) If you would like to know more about this performance please go to: freedomofinformation2008.blogspot.com.
4. I am heading to The village of St. Erme, France for a three week residency at Pa-f (performance art forum) in February. I will be working with my dear friend Elizabeth Ward.
(and lastly) 5. My friends over a Cinco Design, in collaboration with photographer Chris Hornbecker, made a beautiful online book asking 15 different people to choose one word that tells the story of what inspires them. I am honored to be apart of it. Please take a moment to peruse: cincodesign.com/CO/stronger-together
