BIRTH OF DOT
DOT was born in June 2019 in a rehearsal room at the Terry Knickerbocker Studios in Brooklyn, NY. She made her first appearance at The Tank Theater (NYC) during LADY FEST summer festival in August. Within a few hours after that performance, I decided that I would self-produce a fully staged production of DOT. Plans were underway.
BIRTH OF CORONAVIRUS
Then, the world came to a screeching halt. This Coronavirus pandemic has arrested all of our lives; has astonished us; has confounded and continues to scare us. However, we connect with each other and share our lives via our computer screens, on our fire escapes, through window panes; letter writing, photographs phone calls, and through ART.
BIRTH OF CORONAVIRUS DOT PROJECT TEAM
As an artist, I press on. And at an appropriate social distance I have gathered together a team of (5) incredibly talented artists, in order to create a series of videos featuring this strange and funny little character finding her way through this harrowing world health crisis. These videos are “works in progress.” They serve to validate and humanize the unprecedented events and experiences we face together and as individuals.
BIRTH OF DOT VIDEO #1: TEA TIME
Journey with DOT as she passes the time during these Coronavirus days rediscovering the old and making it new. Watch as she draws on her memories of life, love and companionship to make her way toward tomorrow with gratitude and joy.
I wish you safety, good health and peace.
Thanks for watching and for your support.
