Astoria Park, here we come! July 13, 2009

Rehearsing outside I am getting closer and closer to sunburnt, and the dancers are looking lovely as ever in the sunshine. Join us next week, Sunday July 19 at 2pm, for our first performance outside! At Astoria Park, details here and directions here. Remember, it’s a casual affair meant to open up dance to the community, so come curious and ready to get into the fun of it!

Repeat + solo. June 29, 2009

Today we rehearsed at Astoria Park (site of our first public performance on July 19). We were down three dancers (yikes!) but made good use of the day rehearsing this section that focuses on Anna’s solo.

Following June 29, 2009

“Following” is the section after “Repeat + solo” (see previous post). Here we see it at Astoria Park with only 2 out of 5 dancers, but hey, it’s always fun to experience something new in the work!

Anna and Sarah also spent some time rehearsing their solos, working out the complexities of dancing in the grass.

I asked Chelsea to create a floor sequence inspired by my phrase and here’s what she came up with. We’ve still got some work to do with this phrase, which you’ll get to see in a few weeks!
