Denizen (2007-2010) for KINO Dance
Described as "Geo-psychic" by the Boston Herald's critic Ted Bale, Denizen is an expanded cinema performance inspired by the masterworks of the great Armenian filmmakers Sergey Parajanov and Artavazd Peleshian. Denizen is our artistic response to their films ñ our way to engage in an imaginary conversation with these filmmakers about the stories they tell, the places they portray, the rituals their characters embody as well as the creative principles they used to make their films.

City Mission Society is the second oldest multi-service agency in the country.

CMS's mission is to strive to unite churches, religious communities, organizations, and disadvantaged and privileged individuals in Metropolitan Boston in the struggle for justice and peace for all people. When they asked Notable to write a series of children musicals for use in Boston City schools, we were honored. Some of the shows premiered at the Boston Cyclorama.
