anne maree barry says hi

I started this blog in 2007. No one had heard of The Wire and I was making experimental films that a select few saw. My initial tagline for this blog was: 'I write concisely. always. I'm trying to improve this - however, sometimes few words work better'. Then I found Twitter. However, I still post here once a week, so feel free to comment or just to simply say hii.

bring it on!
As part of my Rialto Twirler project, and film, Mark Bryan the American Cheer Music producer is coming to Dublin, this Wednesday to make an exclusive remix for the Rialto Twirlers majorette troop. Mark is co-owner of Cheer Music School- where he teaches members of Cheer leading troops all elements of music mixing for routines. He has tutored and mixed Cheerleading Mixes for thousands of gyms across the U.S. His excellence was recognized when the producers of the Cheerleading Film Bring it On (2000, Peyton Reed) asked Mark to mix the music for the routines in the film.

Dr. Jonathan Ilan of A$$quake and I will be interviewing Mark later in the week. This interview will be screened at a seminar/dialogue evening at my studio, in the new year.

Below is a clip of the final routines from Bring it On. Who is better - East Compton Clovers or Rancho Carne Toros???

The Rialto Twirler Project and Film is kindly supported by the Arts Council, Common Ground and Still Films.

I didn't realise the popularity of Cajmere's (an alias of Green Velvet) 'It's time for the Perculator' until I had a search on You Tube - it's a big wedding track apparently. It is also my new ringtone. I saw the first funny below on Mad Decent and then found the other clip as my search widened. The girl in the second clip is really doing the perculator dance 'properly'.

I am going to a Majorette Competition in Tallaght this Sunday (not as a competitor... as part of my documentary Rialto Twirlers) so I will be looking out for any 'percolator' type dance moves. It might be interesting to know what dance moves Irish girls practice outside of organised groups like the majorettes. Do kids here do the rolex sweep - or is that simply a U.K. phenomenon? American and U.K. youths seem always eager to put their dance moves on You Tube without embarrassment. I'll make it my mission to find some information regarding what Irish teens do on Sunday.

The second majorette competition of the year was held last sunday - a pom pom event. I have noticed a shift in the music the majorettes' are dancing to - the current trend is rock-a-billy. However, Flo Rida and Rihanna are still quite popular. My own team - the Rialto Twirlers performed to 2-Unlimited's No Limits, which actually sounded good on the old PA system - Or perhaps I had eaten too many sweets and was also tired of repeat plays of Michael Sembello's Maniac (on the dancefloor).
