Made for Jeanne Jaubert's Happensdance modern dance troupe. The costumes

consisted of existing tops that were "deconstructed" and pants made to look

rough and deconstructed. Jeanne got the fabric and started making the

costumes herself before she hired me. The choreography, costumes and colors

were water and hurricane Katrina-inspired. Happensdance performed "Oceans

of Light" with a troupe from India in New York.  The performance was reviewed

in the New York Times.
