Most of the time we have a stage tech rehearsal for spacing and such if time allows. At the Tilles center we had a run of the show before the show to just figure out some spacing things, however when we went to Princeton, we got off the bus and pretty much just had an hour to warm up and then put on our stuff and perform. It depends on our time schedule. That is also one of the things that you learn being a professional is that you have to be constantly aware of your surroundings and spacing. You can't just freak out and dance however you want. It's really noticeable when some newer dancers join the company cause they are usually out of line!

Does the company schedule a special rehearsal for you to get used to the stage, or do you all just mutually agree to adjust your positioning as the performances takes place? Very interesting.

It was fine for the smaller pieces like Tarantella, but for Upper Room we really had to constantly pay special attention to our spacing as the depth of the stage made the spacing and diagonals at times very awkward!

I saw you and company at Tilles Saturday. Excellent job by all, and yeah, I felt for you when I saw Tarentella followed by Upper Room. As the guy next to me said, "Quite a workout. Better them than me!" How's the stage for dancing? Is there a reason you don't perform in Manhattan? (Actually as a Long Islander I prefer seeing you at Tilles.) Hi, Alex.
