Collaborators
Andrea Campbell | Mistress of Costuming
Anyone you ask will tell you, since Andrea was 3 years old, what she wanted to do when she grew up … ”make clothes”. Born and raised in the City of Angels where she participated in designing, sewing, and reclaiming items for friends while she was in high school she learned the basics of sewing devloping costumes for street, school, club, and theatre performances.
Andrea attended college in the City of Stars focusing on patternmaking and costume design continuing to design costumes and took it a step further working with performance artists to develop entertainment pieces that would to be able to hold, bend, and fly-off on queue. Working with costumes that needed to be absolutely georgous and yet extremely durable she experienced freedom from the basics of sewing and was able to think and work outside the box for projects in ways like sequined duck cloth corsets.
Andrea is often seen on the train somewhere around the world in more layers that required to show off something she just finished knitting, sewing, or a general pre-purposing of. Preferring the type of art you can hold/wear she spends her time sewing, knitting, sculpting… when you can manage to part the computer from her hands.
Caitlyn Carradine
Caitlyn Carradine, born and raised in Los Angeles, is a choreographer and contemporary ballerina whose work transcends various venues, mediums, and roles as she feels the spirit of her native home is what guides her practice. She trained at and graduated from Vienna Austria’s Wiener Staatsoper Ballettschule (1998-2001) and danced in productions at both the Wiener Staatsoper and Volksoper Wien before returning to Los Angeles, California in 2002 to establish her company: Los Angeles Contemporary Ensemble (LA.C.E.) an avant-garde experimental dance theater. LA.C.E. has produced 25+ original evening length dance productions including “dancing with paints” which was used to create a billboard for Hollywood Boulevard. L.A.C.E. resided in the abandoned portion of the Camarillo State Hospital from 2003-2006 and since has been a nomadic company most recently moving to Vienna, Austria where it will serve as a collaborative production base. Collaborating with DOUBLE VISION in Europe has come as a synchronistic and natural next step and it is all very thrilling to help represent California halfway around the world. Photo by Jay Matsueda.

Dorsey Dunn
Raised in East Asia and a veteran of many cities, Dorsey Dunn is a San Francisco-based artist. His work in sound, text, and image, in the form of installations, performances, and written and recorded works, is an extended meditation on the perimeters of language, the movements of silence, and the vagaries of comprehension. The human voice, through speech and other sound, is an important component of his work, as are considerations of public and private, revelation and hiding, fear and freedom. Dorsey has performed and exhibited his music and sound installations in the US and Europe. He is currently at work on a full production of his large-scale installation piece, The Narcissus Project, and on a series of live performances of music for alto saxophone, midi saxophone and electronics. He has scored and produced music for film, theater, and dance; his latest score, for the film ”IPO”, will appear at the Slamdance and Cinequest film festivals this spring. Previously, he edited an international literary magazine, Trafika. He was educated in New York City.
