The Improbable Reign of Norton I, Emperor of the United States: The video is ready!

About This Blog

"The Improbable Reign of Norton the First, Emperor of the United States" is a 40-minute dance theater piece about Emperor Norton, a famous San Francisco eccentric who in 1859 declared himself "Emperor of the United States." Made possible by a Zellerbach Family Foundation Grant and an ODC Artist-in-Residence Commission, "The Improbable Reign" was choreographed by Catherine Galasso, and premiered at ODC Theater, San Francisco, on May 9-10, 2009.

This blog serves as both a record of the creation process of "The Improbable Reign," as well as a collection of reference material for everyone involved in the project.

You can follow our progress, and even contribute to the making of the piece by leaving us feedback on this blog or by making an online donation. Even if you're not in San Francisco, you may check back after the performances to view video of the finished piece on this very blog.
