HA!Man participating in "Migrations," a cutting edge Los Angeles based immersive dome event (6 nov 2011)

this was some years ago. Lara Kirsten was with me, who took the photo. an event near Pretoria..
it was outside under a canopy. did it rain? there was a swimming pool
and this was the thing: the theme was HATS.
so.. i wore a hat.

surprise.. at another performance for the House of Life in Berlin, a photographer called Christian Giese showed up, firing me with his camera,
presenting me with a host of new photo material, in return for just being at the performance.
this is one of his gems. just me, straight on the cello.

sometimes children partaking in my workshops leave messages for me afterwards.
this is just to honour all those feelings expressed, often boosting my morale significantly!




another cool shot by Okkert Brits (see some of his excellent work here).
from our latest shoot near Pretoria




Another shot out of the Rubbish Improvisation between myself and Nyebho Swartbooi. Grahamstown Monument Theatre, Feb 2009.

Dancing girl during a show at Amatola Village School (Stutterheim, Eastern Cape). Yes! I liked her spirit.
Not every day you get to dance spontaneously in front of an audience.

Okkert Brits has been at it again. We are collaborating from time to time to create HA!Man publicity photos creatively.
This is a sample of the newest batch, taken at the Sammy Marks Museum near Pretoria.

October 2008 Feature: Action Painting

had the opportunity recently to do some action painting -
in Pete Jone's studios in Chicago
(thanks Pete for the materials!)

i am starved of working more visually.
not because i am getting bored with sound,
but because my sounds actually NEED it.

just looking at this makes the cello go ouch!..
Let's jha!mp up and do it!
again!

throwaway!
