More catching up

Things have been busy and very good, and as a result, the minutes have been less constant. In the next week I'm going to re-dedicate myself to them - but shake it up a little by releasing the time (1pm) requirement.

I would have been more diligent if I had known an entire dance program would be watching – Hello Eastview Secondary School in Barrie, Ontario. Questions and thoughts are more than welcome.

Monday January 19 - Working out a one minute phrase.


One of things is, often, and importantly - that we work on something like this for quite a while - days of looking, at moving it around in the structure, and in the end (or at least as of right now) it no longer appears in the work. This ability and need of working things and being able to abandon them is so important if hard to do.

Here's an extra thirty seconds of them working on it


Wednesday January 21 - Working on the phrase
and my ability to make the camera focus.


Monday January 26 - Phrase again
By this point I think we were all starting to feel good about the show - but the phrase was still sticking out as not quite right.


Tuesday January 27 - What replaced the phrase.
We call it "Knee burn." This is the first morning of working it and is still in the show.


We now are into our residency week and so the lighting will begin to change. More soon.
