Hooray for Arts in Context: Body Shift!

We are so excited! Austin-based KLRU TV announced that Eve Tarlo and her production team members Anna Ramirez and Christopher Kim have been nominated for a 2016 Lone Star Emmy Award in the Human Interest category. The Lone Start Emmys are awarded by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, Lone Star Chapter. They are the standard-bearers for excellence in the television broadcasting industry and the gatekeepers of the prestigious regional EMMY Awards in Texas. Lone Star EMMY represents the most experienced and talented television professionals from all disciplines of the industry and from all of Texas’ 19 television markets.

We wish Eve and her team the very best of luck in winning this award. We will hold our collective breath until the October ceremony! Until then, check out this beautiful video of Silva Laukkanen and the ECHO dancers as they prepare for their site-specific performance in September 2015.
