“Straddling Trio”
Performers and Spontaneous Choreography: Sarah Gamblin, Nina Martin, & Andrew Wass

Straddling Trio is the result of many years of interrogating, practicing and performing spontaneous dance choreography, though not always simultaneously. Nina Martin, Andrew Wass and Sarah Gamblin perform this ten minute dance using the practice of Ensemble Thinking along with the dialogue of their individual emergent improvisational practices.

SARAH GAMBLIN, Associate Professor, was a member of Bebe Miller Company from 1993-2000 and Bill Young and Dancers from 1996-99 with whom she toured various cities in South Africa, Portugal, Poland, St. Petersburg, Russia, Estonia, Peru and Venezuela as well as numerous cities in the US. In 2000 Sarah moved to Seattle to earn her MFA in Dance from the University of Washington. There she performed with the Chamber Dance Company, Rob Kitsos, Lingo dancetheater and Amii Le Gendre. Gamblin joined the dance faculty at Texas Woman’s University in 2002 where she teaches ballet and modern technique, composition, choreography, improvisation experiential anatomy and in 2006 founded Dance Lab, a student performing group devoted to improvisation in the dance making process and performance. Her choreography has been produced in Texas at the Fort Worth Dance Festival, the Out of the Loop Festival, Texas Woman’s University, Seattle Festival of Dance and Improvisation, Bates Dance Festival, the Greater Denton Arts Council, Dan’s Silver Leaf and Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studio. Sarah’s work has also been produced in Washington at the University of Washington, The Northwest New Works Festival at On the Boards and in New York City at Hundred Grand and Dia Center for the Arts.

NINA MARTIN¹s choreographic works and master teaching has been presented in New York City; the US; and abroad; including Russia, Austria, Ireland, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Venezuela, Mexico, and Japan. Performance credits include David Gordon Pick-Up Company, Mary Overlie, Deborah Hay, Martha Clarke, and Simone Forti, among others. Martin has received funding for her work from the National Endowment for the Arts through six choreography fellowships, New York State Council on the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, Joyce-Mertz Gilmore Foundation, Meet the Composer/ Choreographer Grant, Texas Commission on the Arts, and others. Martin continues to teach and tour with Lower Left internationally, cultivate a dance community interested in collaborative inquiry, and as of Fall 2008, she joins the dance faculty at Texas Christian University as Assistant Professor.

After graduating from University of California, San Diego with a degree in Biochemistry in 1997, ANDREW WASS replaced the chem lab with the dance studio. His performances have been shown in San Diego, LA, San Francisco, Marfa, Tijuana, and New York. Vital to his development have been his work with Lower Left, the phrase The content lies in the structure (Impro:110), and combining the methods learned in the lab with performative practices. Living in Berlin since 2009, he has been curating the On The Wall dance film festival at ada Studio & Bühne. Recently he completed his MA in Solo/Dance/Authorship at the Hochschulübergreifendes Zentrum für Tanz in Berlin. www.wasswasswass.com, www.nonfictionperformance.org, & www.lowerleft.org

Don’t give up on a sink with an ugly rust mark staining it. You can remove the unsightly blemish with simple ingredients and persistence.

Step 1: Use borax and lemon juice
Make a paste by mixing borax and lemon juice and apply it to the rust stain. Allow the paste to dry and then rinse it down the drain.

Step 2: Try cream of tartar
Make a paste by combining a mild scouring powder, cream of tartar, and hydrogen peroxide. Apply the paste to the rust stain and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then rinse the paste away.

Step 3: Use TSP
Dissolve 2 to 3 tablespoons of trisodium phosphate, or TSP, in a gallon of water, stop the drain, and pour the solution over the stain. Then scrub the rust mark with a sponge or rag. When the stain is removed, thoroughly rinse the sink and fixtures.

Tip
Wear chemical-resistant rubber gloves when using trisodium phosphate.

Step 4: Use oxalic acid
Combine one part oxalic acid to 10 parts water. Apply the solution to the rust stain and then thoroughly rinse.

Step 5: Use a pumice stone
Run warm water over a pumice stone so that it absorbs some of the water and softens. Then scrub the rust stain with the stone. Use gentle pressure, but be careful not to scratch your sink.
