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
Commissioned by Downton Music Productions
Six-Piece Chamber Ensemble Conducted by Mimi Stern-Wolfe
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.
