Mimi Garrard's Crystal on view @ Wigged

Wigged Productions (http://www.wigged.net) an organization dedicated
to making new and innovative art more accessible through broadcast
and Web-based presentations is pleased to showcase online Mimi
Garrard's dance on camera video, Crystal. A link to the video can be
found on Wigged's homepage (http://www.wigged.net).

Mimi Garrard uses dance and the camera to create new forms of
expression. Garrard writes that she "is experimenting with altering
the space, shape, time, and motion of the dance in order to enhance
the material for presentation on video." Crystal was created for
dancer Toni Melaas with music composed by Michael Bushnell.

Mimi Garrard is the artistic director and choreographer for the Mimi
Garrard Dance Company, which has performed throughout the United
States and in South America. In June 2003, Mimi Garrard received a
lifetime achievement award from the Mississippi Institute of Arts and
Letters for her outstanding contributions to the art of dance.

The Mimi Garrard Dance Company was established in 1965, the year that
Garrard presented her first full-length concert at the Henry Street
Playhouse in New York City. The company has intrigued and delighted
audiences across the United States and, as the Los Angeles Times put
it, "opened eyes, caused laughter, and provoked thoughts."

Crystal will be on view at Wigged through January 31, 2005.

QuickTime 6.4 or later and a DSL/Cable modem or faster are required
to view the video.
