cinematography and projection to create new forms and provide new context for existing
video works by surrounding them with live performance. From single channel
documentary works, to multi-channel interactive projections to performances of dance
and projection, PROJECTED was an eclectic offering of work being created with sound,
vision and light.
Chris Nelson is digital filmmaker . He is co-creator and director/editor of the Toypunks
documentary series.

entered the world of sound as a DJ and sound designer for many of the local
theaters. Matt worked as a sound mixer for Japanese Animation at ADV films, where
he then became the primary sound designer/mixer for The Anime Network.
Jhon Stronks - Glitter, Guts and Glory!
Choreographer jhon stronks and “The Magic Unicorn Dance Crew” brought
full-out-with-feeling Yay Dansation! with Glitter, Guts and Glory! The evening length
dance theatre production included stronks' choreography and filmwork by Margo
Stutts Toombs.
Jhon Stronks combines the fundamental elements of choreography, dance
technique, and authentic movement in an effort to create dances that speak
truthfully and promote honest conversation. He is often accused of presenting his
audiences with seemingly disobedient work that behaves according to its own
sanity. Stronks' passion for giving address to the gaps between what is perceived
and what is present usually lands his work somewhere between a cry for personal
consciousness and a plea for social justice.
