Damn it is only Tuesday!
Last week-end I went up the coast for some much needed R&R. It is the last week-end of the year that I will be able to get away so i made it a point to do some cold ice chilling.
Now that i am back we have a lot of work to do in the next couple of weeks. We have a couple performances coming up the 16th and 17th of this month in collaboration with a new organization called Urban Art Farm. This will be our first San Francisco debut as The Artist Group.
Putting together a well constructed evening entails of so much nit picky work that makes putting the show together the easy part. It is all of the details that make it a strenuous experience. Budget, space, dancers, costumes, flights, advertising and everything else under the sun all have to be factored in. All of this coming from a balance of zero. This is where i use the age long practice of “The Secret” (thanks Oprah)
With that said… Dana, our coordinator for TAG has made this event possible. Within a few days time, she has raised enough money for us to fly out two of the dancers from NYC who arrive on Thursday. She is making it possible for me to come in and do the “work”. Really, I could not have asked for a better person for the job. She is well organized, efficient and such a huge talent.
The event itself is going to be cool. TAG is going to present 2 new pieces as well as a world premiere film featuring Muriel Maffre, edited by Ben Peirce. Dana and I had the opportunity to watch the film last week. It is simply beautiful. It reminds me of the film “Spirited Away” in a varied context.
I will be posting pics of the rehearsals with the dancers later on this week. Im thinking about posting the Sea Ranch trip too, but we got a little excited with trying to be like Americas Next Top Model. Tyra, you are ruining our lives.. But in a sexy way:)
