The Air Band (Langdon C. Crawford, William David Fastenow, Laura M. Sinnott)  gets its name from the first instrument built for the band in 2006. The MIDI AirGuitar was designed to allow the musician to control a computer's sound output with gestures from afar.  The band has designed their handmade instruments to manipulate a wide sound spectrum.   www.theairband.com

Philippa Kaye has been making dances for public performance since 1995, and has been dancing all along. She trained at the School of American Ballet and performed with American Ballet Theater as a child in New York City. Entranced by American Musical Theater and popular dance forms, she simultaneously developed a taste for the more personalized vocabularies of modern dance. After Graduating with a BA in Studio Art from U.C. Santa Cruz, she performed with numerous contemporary choreographers in San Francisco and New York.  
In 2000, she was commissioned by Dancing in the Streets for Wave Hill to create "Manicure," a site-specific outdoor work, and by Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum Smithsonian Institution to set an evening of work in its public garden on Fifth Avenue. After studying the possibilities of interactive electronic media with performance and receiving an MFA in choreography from Sarah Lawrence College in 2002, she formed Philippa Kaye Company to continue making dances. Her work has also been presented by Dixon Place, Dancenow/NYC, Chashama, New Dance Alliance, The 92nd St. Y, Sarah Lawrence College, SWEAT in Hoboken, N.J., Concord Academy, Concord, MA, and the D.C. International Improvisation Festival, and seen at many New York City venues including Joyce Soho, Pace Downtown Theater, The Gene Frankel Theater, Fordham University, as well as The Painted Bride, Philadelphia, PA. She has been a Fieldwork facilitator and is an active teacher. www.philippakayecompany.com
