The BradMACK iPod Shuffle Challenge

I'm hosting a new monthly event at Je'bon! Dancers of all disciplines are challenged to perform to whatever song comes up on a playlist I've created just for this evening. There are roughly 200 songs on the playlist and I remove songs once they've been played once. 

For performing dancers earn drink tickets and I try to surprise attendees and performers with gifts every month. So far these have included slices of Beecher's cheese, a bottle of scotch, a bottle of Patron and an enormous cake from Chinatown.

The Rules:

• All dancers start onstage
• Dancing is rewarded with a drink
• Three songs can be skipped per night
• No video or photography
• No headbanging

Join the party!

The Nomsters have arrived

I'm very excited about this project. It's Large Animal's first in-house mobile game and we've been working on this game, using the Unity engine, since early 2012.

Initially we wanted to quickly build a mobile title to get our feet wet in that segment of the industry so we started with the same general mechanic of Bumper Stars, an earlier Large Animal release for Facebook. As we got deeper into the project the team our ambition, and level of excitement, increased and we decided to make Nomsters into a full-fledged release with the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign. Half a year later Nomsters is available in Canada and we're preparing for a worldwide release in the next few days.

It's been awhile since I've been so hands on with a project. The opportunity to dive into character, development, UI design, new technology and a strong mechanic with a great team was super welcome.

Bellydance Evolution "Dark Side of the Crown"

In 2010 my friend Jillina Carlano asked if I would write an original story for the sophomore production of her international dance troupe, Bellydance Evolution. I wanted to push the envelope and do something that hadn't, to my knowledge, been attempted within the world of bellydance and she surprised me by accepting my first concept - a murder mystery/comedy.

Over the following months I drafted a story summary, character descriptions and concepts for individual acts. In the Fall of 2011 she and the other principal performers - Kaeshi, Sharon Kihara, Louchia, Heather Aued, Eglal and Ozzy - took that document and began building the show, which debuted in Los Angeles at the beginning of 2012.

It's been a treat to collaborate with such a talented group of artists and I'm excited to see how the show grows over the next couple years. I'll join them as a Stage Manager/Musician this year as it tours in Washington DC, New York, Morocco, Japan, Europe and Mexico.
