As some of you might already know, my dad happens to be an exceptional photographer 
and for the past 15 years he’s been creating beautiful images of José Mateo’s Ballet Theatre of Boston - a great company (and school) who exclusively dance Mr. Matéo’s choreography. I went to their school right before I left Boston to come to SAB and they gave me the strength and the amazing experience of working directly with a gifted choreographer, before I even got to New York.
This Friday, they are having a gala showing of the work my dad has done with the company. (Needless it’s been a journey for my dad and BTB to go through and decide which pieces will be shown after 15 years of collaboration!)
It’s at BTB’s beautifully renovated church space in Harvard Square. (You might remember the picture I took when I taught there this summer). Doug and I are taking the Acela up Friday afternoon for the show. I can’t wait!
Click the image to read the details… maybe we’ll see you there!

It’s OK. I’m from Boston. I think that gives me liberty to poke a little fun at the accents 
I arrived in Boston tonight (Harvard Square to be exact) to teach for a few days at the summer program at José Mateo’s Ballet Theatre of Boston.
This is the ballet school I went to before coming to SAB. In fact, I participated in this exact summer program a few weeks before leaving for New York for my first year there. Back then the studios were on Mass Ave, but now they are in a beautiful church at Harvard Square. This is also where the company does there performances. It’s an incredible space. You’ll see it tomorrow!

I drove in with my parents. My dad is a commercial photographer who works out of both New York and Boston. He has a big studio outside the city, so we stopped there first to drop a few things off before heading to dinner. This is only less than half of it! He also does a lot of the photography for Ballet Theatre of Boston.
We ate at Grafton Street. I had the cod. It was lovely.
Across the street from the restaurant was what looked like Harvard dorms. I love the engraving in the marble.

At my hotel they have actual pages from George Washington’s diary.
They even had a diorama entitled “Washington Takes Command” July 3, 1775, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
History is fun, especially in diorama form.
