LIVE MUSIC FOR TONIGHT’S PERFORMANCE DAVID DORFMAN DANCE BAND
SAM CRAWFORD completed degrees in English and Audio Engineering at Indiana University in 2003. His compositions and sound designs have included works for the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company (Venice Biennale, 2010), A.I.M by Kyle Abraham (Untitled Love, 2022), Camille A. Brown and Dancers (BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play, 2016), and David Dorfman Dance (Aroundtown, 2017). La Medea, a live film collaboration with director Yara Travieso for which he composed the music and wrote the libretto, premiered at P.S.122’s Coil Festival in 2017. Crawford is a lecturer in sound design at the University of Maryland’s School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies. JEFF HUDGINS is a transplanted Texan whose music has been described as “somewhat menacing” (New York Music Daily), is a founding member of local NYC group Bombay Rickey. He has toured in the US and Europe, has premiered John Zorn, Tim Berne and John Harbison, has performed in Kamala Sankaram’s award- winning steampunk murder mystery opera, Miranda (2012), and most recently in Yara Travieso’s dance/live-video show, La Medea (2017). In addition to Bombay Rickey, he writes for the NYC groups Anti-Social Music and Opera On Tap, and performs with Matt Bauer and Lizzie & The Makers, amongst many others. Hudgins’ first home in San Antonio, with its vibrant Tejano, Country and early 80s local punk scene, would prove to be a continuing musical inspiration, but a move to Boston prompted focusing on jazz, Hindustani, Yiddish, Brazilian and classical music in his studies at Berklee and New England Conservatory. Moving to Brooklyn in 1998 led Hudgins to meet members of Anti-Social Music, in which he and Sankaram would later meet. Sankaram revealed her plans to perform the works of Yma Sumac in the inaugural form of Bombay Rickey, and found an immediate and enthusiastic band member in Hudgins, who has added Mediterranean and Balkan flair to the ensemble. Hudgins is currently working with Bombay Rickey on their followup to their debut record, 2014’s award- winning Cinefonia.
