Ray Roy is a multimedia artist specializing in video and live performance. A member of the Baltimore based art collective, Wham City (Best in Baltimore '06, City Paper), and New York art-team, Eagle Ager, Ray gets off on creating in large collaborative projects. Roy graduated from the New Media program at SUNY Purchase college, where he met his friend and collaborator, Charlotte Gibbons. Roy was also introduced to Neil Greenberg at Purchase College, and soon after enrolling in Neil's advanced improvisation classes, Roy became the Video Coordinator for Partial View, Neil Greenberg's multimedia collaboration with Zeena Parkins and John Jesurun. Ray frequently works with John Jesurun as his technical director, most recently on Jesurun's Philoktetes at SoHo Rep, and on the first ever restaging of Harry Partch's experimental opera, Delusion of the Fury, at the Japan Society last December. Roy has collaborated as a video artist with various international choreographers, video designed for Mary Fulham's Trophy Wife at La MaMa, and will soon be showing his own dance/video work, Red Light Special, at this upcoming La MaMa Moves dance festival. Ray Roy is still in negotiations with editors at YouTube, and will ultimately be guest curating the front page of the popular video website, selecting all the featured videos on the front page. Ray once uploaded a video to YouTube that featured him stripping out of his clothes and dancing with an enormous hamster, it has been viewed over 2.7 million times.
