"This remarkable ‘Hairspray’ video raises the roof. Even better, it raises money for entertainers in need."

 

"A hyperdynamic collage — one of the most exuberant Broadway music videos of all time"

While our Mixed eMotion family has been sheltering-at-home, we decided to have a little fun of our own.  We put together this video project for our family to share with all of you.  We invited not only our performers, but everyone who works with MeMT to participate in the project.  We challenged 25 of our dancers and production team (including our graphic designer, producers, composers, videographer, photographer, Social Media and Marketing Director, Executive Director and Artistic Director) to create 15 seconds of movement connected to those who performed before them and then “Tag” the next performer and so on. Along with being a lot of fun to create, the resulting video created connectedness in spite of social distancing. We know that art will endure in spite of the many challenges it may face.

Review of "Bronco Billy"

"Perhaps the most impressive element of this world premiere however is Janet Roston’s personality-driven choreography. Her skill in choreographing to character is astonishing, and she can do it in any style on any size stage for any level of artist and make them shine. Whether she’s using a simple two-step to build a budding romance or creating a whopper of a production number to highlight every asset – and rodeo trick – the talented cast has in their back pocket, she succeeds in furthering the story through movement. It’s hard to describe but, in essence, it creates a physical arc to the show that transports you to a different place from where you started."
