MPA Project Travels
Yvonne and Buddy create videos and writing based on firsthand knowledge and experiences of a destination. They hope their work that inspires parents and families to share time together engaging in new experiences whether the destination is near or far from home. Travel was a part of the MPA Project from the beginning, as the two went on tour to Las Vegas and did a family artis
t in residency at SPACE on Ryder Farm in Brewster, NY within the first months of the project. And travel has also been a constant theme in the MPA Project because Yvonne travels a lot for her job in the performing arts. The shift in focus to MPA Project Travels allows the mother son duo a chance to reflect on their shared journeys while sharing experiences with you. In homage to the project’s dance roots, Yvonne and Buddy film a moment of movement, or short dance films, at most places they visit. About the MPA Project
The Motherhood and the Performing Arts (MPA) Project began in 2016 as a mother and child multidisciplinary art project that explored the joys and challenges of juggling motherhood and a career in the performing arts. The original project had three components: 1) An earring collection, 2) “Reflections” a dance film created in collaboration with Dominic AZ Bonuccelli, 3) and a Blog. In 2020, the dance film component of the MPA Project was folded into Stories from Home: COVID-19 Addendum, a series of dance films inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic, a series of dance films inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic that explored themes of family, love, and isolation. It was then that Yvonne and Buddy decided to shift the focus of the MPA Project Blog to their love of travel.
