Lofting The Sheets, (vignette/shorts) present "Garage Glam" baseball girls (the Pitcher, Catcher, Batter, and Umpire), on the other side -- sharing movements, gestures, stories, memories.. a momento mori...
"In A Field Beyond The Horses (Where Bats Swing & Girls Sing, We Are Our Own Team)”
Featuring: “Cutie Beauty & The BAT-SWING Fly”
What is on the other side? If you climb the Hillside staircase What will you find? Jack and Jill climbed the hill | To fetch a pail of water from a flooded cellar | And then Jack fell in and cracked his chin | And Jill mended it with well mud | And the mud made him well as well.
The Other Side is a memento mori with morality rhymes, where “the lion eyes could see inside fighting minds”, and a disabled cat is stuck between two lives paralyzed, marginalized and denied – “So many years later I learned she was driven down to the other side of town.”
Live shoot on green screen at CoCA (Seattle), featuring: “Cutie Beauty & The BAT-SWING Fly”, The Pitcher with Cub-Sometimes-Cat, The Batter, The Catcher, The Umpire.
