This issue is OUT OF PRINT.
EDITORS’ LETTERS
You learn something new everyday. I’m really excited for you to read this issue. Some great articles including an excerpt from Penny Arcade’s new released book. We also have two porfolios–our cover artist and one in tribute to Merce Cunningham. My undaunted collaborator, Troy Lambert who designs the MRPJ reminded me that portfolios in number of pages divisable by four can be taken from the journal whole for convenient carrying. Unbeknownst to Troy, I was naive to this fact.
I’m looking forward to maximizing this new knowledge in the future. We’ve promised pieces on Boris Charmatz and The Giant Women and sorry we’re still working. So, lots to look forward to as 2010 keeps rolling.
All the best,
Trajal

When I was approached about editing the Hahn Rowe artist portfolio for this edition of the Journal, I didn’t know very much about Rowe or his work. I agreed, in part to learn more, and in part because a fellow musician had once told me that seeing a Hahn Rowe dance score made him believe that writing for dance could be fulfilling musically.
Hahn has flown a bit under the radar, though his credits are long, both in music, film and dance. Among many others, he has performed on recordings for David Byrne, Michael Stipe, Glenn Branca and Moby and written dance scores for Bebe Miller, David Dorfman, John Jasperse and Meg Stuart. Yet, writings, reviews and even photos of him seem to be in short supply.
The focus of this portfolio is on Hahn’s involvement with dance, and hopefully provides an introduction to him and his work. I’d like to thank all the people who contributed their materials and time to making this come together.
