From the desk of Sarah Seely invites you to spend a moment away from the unprecedented consumerist frivolity of today's war-faring United States to take a trip back in time to midth century America - an era when, in the shadow of nuclear annihilation, families bar-be-qued on backyard patios, mothers shopped for the latest in space age home management technology, and everyone tried to keep up with the Joneses.
At times bawdy and hysterical, alarming and outrageous, "How to Disappear Completely" incorporates elements of dance, theater, burlesque, video, and just a touch of audience interaction into a series of vignettes set in cocktail parties, war trenches, and grade school classrooms.
Cleverly placed advertisements along with the hit music of the day provide the feel and comfort of the classic television you grew up with, and the safety of knowing that while the mushroom clouds are bursting forth outside your bomb shelter, you too can keep a positive attitude and a winning smile. Written and directed by Sarah Seely. Federal Civil Defense Administration, Choreographed by Sarah Seely in conjunction with the performers.

I am currently in Savannah, GA teaching a creativity workshop to some wonderful ladies. I love to do creativity exercises with the group, particularly involving music. This image was not shot from above as it may appear. A big thanks goes out to my model, Morgan Marlowe for climbing up the root wall amongst trash that I photoshopped out and propping herself in an almost impossible way on the roots. And thanks to my assistant Sarah for helping make this shoot possible.
