Thank you to Kristin for all the instructions but I am bit slow.

Graham company had splendid performances at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art in the end of March.
*Out side of CMCA

*At opening night reception with Julie & Andreas(Long time friends and Directors for Hubbard Street Dance 2)
*At the Garden, middle of Manhattan
We presented all Noguchi/Graham pieces, Errand into the Maze, Embattled Garden, Appalachian Spring. I had a previledge dancing all three ballets (of course not in one night). All 5 performances went really well and of course I had a great time.
Well now I am back in NY, spending some time to clean the community garden where I have a plot , and have some time to see some performances around the city.

I will write more about Graham, and at the same time, things I see in NYC.

Thank you!

Isamu’s designs are so beautiful and great to work with. MGDC has a lot of his works. I went to the opening of the Museum where the sculpture garden is. and that space is incredible. Isamu placed those trees by himself in that space. He created art work at the same time “SPACE”.
MGDC will have 2-week season at the Joyce (September,2007). We will have some of his works at this season. Pieces like “Herodiade” “Embattled Garden” “Cave of the Heart” “Night Journey” are with his art works. Those are beautiful to look at. I hope everybody have a chance to come up on stage to see what kind of space that he created on stage for dancers( our prospective) which give so much images… I should write about those someitmes.
