Above: trailer for “The Body Show.” Stop by Portland’s Someday Lounge on Wednesday, December 15th to see the whole thing!
Early in November I flew back to Portland, Oregon after living in Brooklyn for a little under a month. I was excited to be back “home” and see most of my closest friends, family, myriad species of trees, favorite coffee shops, bakeries, fresh air, thai food, food carts, mountains … and perhaps even the rain.
But, I was most excited for the main reason I was flying back — the benefit cabaret and premiere of my latest experimental short “The Body Show” created in collaboration with Nora Robertson. Our film is based off of Nora’s poem “How to Boil an Egg” published in Redactions and nominated for a 2007 Pushcart Prize. “The Body Show” takes the form of a cooking show gone awry, with a Julia Child meets David Lynch sensibility.
We are excited to collaborate in the near future on a series of films based off of other poems from Nora’s Body Making Cookery poetry collection and, if we can ever find the time, producing a performance/video/reading/multimedia version of “How to Boil an Egg.” — Jason Below: Nora and Jason thanking their supporters and those who attended the premiere.
