Dance Clips

I finally finished editing together some clips of my dancing into a dance reel. I'm putting it up here for now, but will get a higher quality version onto the "Video" section of my website soon. It's also on YouTube, Facebook, and MySpace. I hope you enjoy and now friends, casting directors, agents, and everyone else can finally see examples of my dancing. Enjoy!

News and my proud editing

So, my performances went outstandly great, but what else would you expect. Sorry most of you couldn't see them, and thank you to the few who were able to be awesome and support me. Hopefully there will be more in the near...very near...future.

Looks like I'll be hanging around NYC for the summer, so party on Manhattan!

Auditioning lots right now, hoping something sticks, and trying to get my life here reorganized (as always). I've been quite busy learning how to use film editing software. I'm quite proud that I just tonight finished putting together a bunch of dance clips into what I think is a pretty professional looking dance reel. Soon it will be up on my website and in the meantime I'm trying to get it loaded onto youtube. So the world will quickly be able to see some of my dancing! Very exciting!

That is really all for the moment, sadly I have nothing very deep and meaningful to leave you with, so just go out and enjoy yourselves.

Some beautiful music

I just had the unexpected opportunity to hear the Philadelphia Orchestra play Mahler's Symphony No. 8 at Carnegie Hall last night. Unbelievable! The music is so big and so powerful. It was an experience I can't really give justice too with words. Everybody who is into classical music even just a little bit should listen to this symphony.

Performing tonight! Yeah! I love performing so much, it's what I live for. Plus, it's nice weather outside so my mood is very good. It's almost time to bust out my bahama shorts...well, okay, I'll wait on that. Not sure NYC is ready for those suckers yet.

My Oh My...

Wow, has it really been this long since I've written...well, I guess blog time stamps do not lie...unless you change them...so I guess they can lie. Ah, a life lesson to keep in mind. I'm so deep, aren't I!

I've been lately working on a dance performance based on the Holocaust. I know, happy subject. It's a really beautiful piece that we performed last night, and one more show on Wednesday. I'll put the info below for the people who love and adore me to read. That's right...both of you...haha.

I know you probably expect more of me and my inane thoughts, but this will be it for the moment. Just not "feeling it" you know (metaphysically, get your mind out of there). So more to come. Wish me a rock'n show on Wednesday (y'all know I'll nail it), and on my auditions this week (I'll try and kick some auditioning ass), and be well.

Enjoy some cherry blossoms...I think they're in bloom, but as I'm not a licensed and botanically-schooled person, I could be wrong about the botanicallness of the cherry bloomage.

Here's the info for my Holocaust dance...

Labyrinth Dance Theater presents as part of Yom Hashoah: Holocaust Remembrance Program...

WALTZ FOR A SHATTERED WORLD
Choreography by Sasha Spielvogel
Composed by Avishai Ya'ar
Orchestrated by David Majzlin

A Berlin Cabaret (1935) The mood is lighthearted until one by one, the 'undesirables' are separated from the society to which they thought they belonged. The scene shifts to a Concentration Camp, while those who retain power remain oblivious, enjoying the live music. The living and the dead are inextricably bound in a Waltz Macabre.
