Full company

The company is deep in the preparations for the New York Season next month.

Rehearsals are just packed with energy and focus. It’s a very special time..A bit of stress, a lot of work, and endless inspiration…
I am not sleeping much at the present moment, but it’s all part of the process that makes watching it on opening night oh-so-special…

The press release is done, and getting out there.. Lighting design and costume concepts are being discussed. The whole company shared a cold/flu a month or so ago, so we are just trying to KEEP EVERYONE HEALTHY!

There is a lot of work being done, and Lynn and I are trying to keep our heads screwed on right, and mkaing sure we don’t forget things like inviting presenters who may be in town, keeping our intern busy sending press releases, getting final drafts looked at for the postcards, organizing the production staff and volunteers, getting dancers measurements for costume designer, having meetings with the conductor of the orchestra to discuss meter, tempo, etc, meeting with the Chairperson of the Audience Development Committe to ensure we are reaching out genuinely and widely, meetings with the artist/set designer to discuss the hanging of the piece she is creating, keeping up to date on grant proposals, and running rehearsals..

Thank goodness there are two of us!!! And that we have a extraordinarily supportive Board and group of dancers!.

Here’s to 35 days until opening night.. But who’s counting?
