Here it is. After 7 months of preparing, we are here. In about 8 hours we will be in tech, and in about 48, we open.

Show info/tix here.

We rehearsed with the musicians today for the first time…and although there were some tricky spots that were much different than the canned music we have been rehearsing to, all in all, it was magical. It really was. It was absolutely thrilling to see them move with living, breathing music.

We have a lot of work to do to tie everything together in the next day and a half, but, we’ll be ready. We will be ready with full a orchestra, with a huge hanging set piece, with costumes that are no longer in India, and with a group of dancers that have worked, sweat, bled and created together for over half a year.

We are ready to share the work with the world, and I have never been so proud of both the process, and what we are presenting this weekend.

Hope to see you there…
