Hello Wingers.
Sorry this is a few days overdue (been a bit sicky this weekend), but I’d like to introduce you to Candice Thompson, a new contributor with a fun range of abilities and interests.
After studying at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, and dancing with the Milwaukee Ballet, Candice is now a member of the Ad Hoc Ballet and is also the owner and designer of a dancewear line called LOLAstretch. In addition to her dance and fashion talents, she’s also a prolific costume designer, and teaches at the Creative Arts Studio in Brooklyn, New York. You can read more about her in her profile, and check out her work in the links above.
Welcome Candice!

Hi Candice,
Just wanted to say that I am a former Creative Arts student, I studied with Sherri and then Carla from age 4 to age 14 (I’m now 17). Hope you’re having fun there! It’s a wonderful place.

[...] A couple of the pieces choreographed by Barnes and performed by her and Deborah Lohse that stuck in my mind were these cutely humorous Vaudeville-esque sketches featuring the two women in overdone makeup and platinum blonde wigs and wearing maid-like aprons over ruffly skirts, who were kind of simultaneously sexed-up — one kept bunching her skirt and wanting to lift it — and naively sweet and confused. It was very funny, very cute, and Lohse’s expressions were brilliant. She has a tall, thin, somewhat gangly frame, and she really seemed to know how to use that to maximum comical effect here. I recognized her name in the progam then her face as soon as I saw her onstage, and I realized where from when I read her bio: she has her own newly-started company, ad hoc Ballet, whose website I’d visited after the introduction of a new Winger contributor from that company. Anyway, I’d actually like to learn more about Vaudeville since I’ve seen a few modern companies use it now. Kind of ridiculous that I know so little since my boyfriend in grad school was writing his dissertation on its history, and I read Fred Astaire’s autobiography… [...]
