Ms. Wolcott has a gift for organizing space, but her sophisticated comedic abilities are probably her strongest suit, and “Dramarama!” was never better than in those first deranged — fun with stereotypes! — moments.

Company of Five
Music: Peaches
A sexy, comical and dynamic dance piece that integrates story telling with high physically in which one man fends off the attack of four diva-sirens whose spell-binding ninja-work echoes his own conflicted persona in 4.5 minutes.

25 person community site-specific piece
A wacky site-specific piece that was developed for 25 pedestrians and dancers, inspired by the actual sound level at the Tobacco Warehouse, in Dumbo, Brooklyn,and by the nature of city sidewalk traffic.
Anthrax 2006
Solo
Music: Gang of Four
A rock and roll masturbation metaphor…a play on the old adage “The tale is wagging the dog.”
Force Feed 2005
Duet with video analog feedback
Music: Boom Bip mixed by Artanker Convoy
Video: MUX
As Dan Ockers said about climbing mountains in Japan, "It's like there is a chain of little ghosts hanging off of your ankles, and every step you take, another grabs hold". Force Feed shifts through the difficulty of that space seeking the moment of resolution.

Egoist 2004
Solo
Live Music Score: Artanker Convoy
Video: MUX
Egoist, an evening length work, was developed for a multi-screened environment that envelops the audience. The dancer moves through six evolutions of the ego: Birth -> Awareness -> Corruption -> Destruction -> Revival -> Freedom. The live music of Artanker Convoy accompanies the movement and simultaneous analog feedback projections on the surrounding screens.

Render 2004
SoloMusic: Artanker Convoy
Video: MUX
Render is a designed interplay between dancer and video. Light chases and teases the dancer through the space until it finally consumes her and the two move in tandem.

Frayed 2003
Live Music Score: Artanker Convoy
Video: Andrew Personette and Andres Libros
Frayed displays a woman coming apart as she tries to be all things to all people. Her attempts to impress become her ultimate demise. With each new development another layer of her costume is stripped away until she is laid bare. Self realization leads to laughter and a final release in refracted light.
