Ashley Brooke Roberts Photobomb

Ashley Brooke Roberts, Comedian and Host Extraordinaire.

“I came into [doing Hoover Dam Shows] peripherally, back when shows were in this giant warehouse in Northern Greenpoint that you had to walk to for 20 minutes and I remember being like “ah, the kids are doing it for themselves!” I was really into the whole DIY spirit of the event and also that everyone was really supportive of all of the weird voices that came out.”

“It has always been fun. It’s never not been fun, which is hard to say about a lot of shows that I do. I usually leave feeling inspired.”

Alex Mackinnon Photobomb

Alex Mackinnon – Bandleader, The Whistleblowers

“The band is called the Whistleblowers. It’s inspired by my need to try to change all the fucked up things in this world in some small way. Some of my favorite artists are John Lennon, Fela Kuti, Rage Against The Machine – people that have spoken up for what they believe is right. Thats what led me to form this band.”

“We’re doing a very open set. I’m using the amazing musicians I have – basically I want to give them the freedom to express themselves in the maximum way by leaving a lot of room for them to improvise and for us to interact. This one is going to be a little bit of a departure; I’m busting out my computer and using some electronics, so I’m excited to see how that works.”

Let my fingers be your eyebrows….

LoudHoundMovement is a choreographic partnership based in Brooklyn, New York, which aims to enhance artistic integrity in contemporary dance-making through research, idea exchange, and public performance, oftentimes adding elements of multi-media.  LHM focuses on a creation process that is highly influence by the individuality of their dancers, and the distinctive self-expression of these artists.

(There’s something very Disney-prince-and-princess this photo. I halfway expected them to break into song here.)

 “Above all, we believe in the accessibility of our work and the crossover from dance to other art forms.  Hoover Dam Collective offers us a comfortable and fun environment to show work that we believe in and interact with ambitious artists that we wouldn’t normally encounter.”

Neighborhood of Residence: Both from Crown Heights!
