Many is the weekend this summer on the Northeast Coast that has been a wash out due to ungodly amounts of rain (global warming or weirding?).  Fortunately we had one great one several weeks back in the middle of August that allowed for a truly spectacular Illuminations weekend at The Woods Campgrounds in the southern Poconos.  TheOccasionalfag was there last year and we're here again.

Enjoy the video of the evening...

In editing this year's video of DRA's (Dancers Responding to AIDS) 15th Annual Fire Island Dance Festival, Occasional Fag Brian G., who volunteers each year to help load in and strike the show, wanted to go back to making a series of still photos set to music, like the earlier videos of the festival that he has made. 

Not gonna happen...

Just a few still Photos into the edit and Brian G. was bored.  So he started playing with ideas of timing motion against stillness.  Simple ideas, really.   Then it became just about presenting the festival.  And here is the video you get.

Enjoy!

Underlining a great deal of this year's Fire Island Dance Festival for OccasionalFag Brian G. - who volunteers to help set up and strike it every year - is how much he has become a part of the theatre community here in New York City.  So much so that he forgets the he, like most of the theatre viewing public, used to have no idea how much work actually goes into putting up even the smallest of productions, like, say... umm, the Fire Island Dance Festival.

So, not that this video is going to rectify any such workload ignorance - especially with all the shots of Brian G. in the pool (hey, a girl's gotta cool off somehow), but it is a start.  The video of the dance festival itself is to come, but for now, here are images of the men and woman who get this show on the road, or in this case, the boardwalk.

Enjoy
