Cool weather/highway-driving helmet.
Back in it’s resting spot.

So my time in Saratoga Springs with NYCB is now officially over…
:(

I returned to the city yesterday, arriving tired but in one piece. (Can’t exactly say the same for all the buggies decorating the front of my helmet.)

I thought I’d give you one last little montage of images that haven’t made it on yet, before going back into NYC-posting mode….

Aaron Severini, dancer and composer extraordinaire,
in the SPAC parking lot. (that’s Adrian on his Vespa in the background.) I’m still kicking myself for missing his concert at the National Arts Club last month, but I’ll be sure to make it next time and give all of you plenty of notice as well!

The pool portion of the historic Victoria Pool.
(I think I only showed you the lounge area before.) This was a nice place to try to squeeze in some aquatic physical therapy. Wish there were one of these downtown.

My favorite person rode up to spend July 4th with me.
We had grand plans of trying to fit in a stop at Victoria Pool, or a quick ride up to Lake George, but alas, it rained for the entire 24 hours that he was here. Check out the fun stuff he designed for an article about improving the Bloomberg Terminal.

The SPAC dressing room scene.
Look, windows!

The Parting Glass, a downtown Saratoga Pub.
After the show on Friday night this was the only place in town that we could find still serving food. It gradually became populated with more and more dancers as the evening progressed.
Note to Saratoga restaurants… if you serve food late, they will come.

Joe from the NYCB press department, giving Mr. Albert Evans a final approval of photos appearing in the next brochure.

Stephanie Zungre, vocals. Aaron Severini, piano.
During Romeo + Juliet intermission.

Booooo. Theater case is packed.

Composer/conductor Bright Sheng leads the orchestra through a rehearsal of his and Christopher Wheeldon’s new ballet, The Nightingale and The Rose. Here he says they need to go back a few bars in the score.

Dybbuk rehearsal

It’s a hot steamy day in Saratoga, which equals lots of extra tired sweaty dancers. Luckily they provide free bottled water and a variety of Gatorade products in the office. I’m watching a bit of the orchestra rehearsal for Jerome Robbins’ Dybbuk, waiting for my 1:15 physical therapy appointment backstage with Michelle. Hip seems to have calmed down a bit since yesterday which is good… I can’t imagine the muggy weather is helping it much though. After that I’m heading back home to do some more editing on the Kyra Nichols video, as I just got my final interview with Peter Martins this morning.

Power is back in the theater but evidently the power is out at the box office, which makes it hard for people to get to their seats! Hopefully we will be underway soon.

Don’t forget, we are in the woods

Katie Bergstrom is smiling, but you can’t tell.

It’s 15 minutes before the show and the power is out. Actually, it keeps going out, but now its been a few minutes and it hasn’t come back on. Makes it challenging to do makeup!

SPAC, R+J and Coolhunting.com

R+J video for coolhunting.com at Saratoga Performing Arts Center

To my surprise, as my parents and I walked out of the covered section of the SPAC ampitheater during intermission, we saw that they were playing the video I made for Cool Hunting on the making of Romeo + Juliet. It’s a bit different than the Tragic Love videos, as I used music by a band named Au Revoir Simone (thanks Rod!) and it’s a bit of an overview of what was covered in those 9 videos. Any how, it was pretty cool seeing it projected outside on the three big screens in Saratoga.
