This is an exciting time for me and I am finding writing about it difficult. But the plan is to integrate the process of making the dance with that of developing the audience through building this web site.
So……
The choreography is progressing on schedule, that is 3 minutes a week and the piece is around 8 minutes from completion. I will not break stride here. We need a rough draft complete by end of April. The concert is scheduled for June 18-19-20 at the Cunningham studio and the piece is an hour long. The five dancers need to build stamina; I need to edit. The working title for the dance is Changing Places but it needs explaining so I need to find another.
I am negotiating for rights to the music. We have a lighting designer, Mike Riggs.
We will be holding two open rehearsals at Battery Dance, located three blocks below Canal at 380 Broadway, 5th floor. Dates are Thursday, April 23rd, and Thursday, May 21st, from 12 noon to 2 PM. Admission is free but space is limited so email me at susan@vencldance.org if you plan to come. (By the way there are 95 steps up! ) SEV 3/29/2009
