Mod­ern Garage Move­ment is a col­lab­o­ra­tive endeavor between Feli­cia Bal­los, Biba Bell, Jmlly Leary, Theo Angel, and Robert McNeil. This project explores the rela­tion­ships between dis­ap­pear­ance and metamorphosis.

New Gree is a dance on tour that not only hap­pens any­where, but is hap­pen­ing all the time. The fash­ions worn on the road are the cos­tumes of the dance. The ter­rain of the per­for­mance is demar­cated by props; flags, lights, tarps, mir­rors, jibs and pro­jec­tions. MGM’s rock band con­cept is trans­formed into a band of cow-boygirls and the New Gree group is always on guard, ready for long still­nesses, quick get­aways, telepa­thy and remon­strance. An aim, but not goal of New Gree, is to dance in com­plete uni­son with eyes closed, nav­i­gat­ing safely through den­si­ties of peo­ple and space. Ulte­ri­orly, the chore­og­ra­phy works with shift­ing for­ma­tions of energy and hyper-reality in rela­tion to the mobile audi­ence, build­ing addi­tive lay­ers of past and future per­for­mances, past and future influ­ences, and link­ing every­one and every­thing in the accu­mu­la­tive jour­ney of now.
