Visual Media Collaboration for the win with the Bay Area Dance Event Collective. It is an absolute honor and ideal partnership for Empyrean Visuals. I think I can speak for most of us media collaborators who have worked with Davy don’t give a shit what it takes to do what needs to be done for the BADE Collective Event. With the other worldly exposure to the exquisite community of dancers that fill and participate in these events, the experience is one to savor.
