Watching the Tony’s recap on CNN while waiting for my check-up with hip doc Dr. Bharam.
I’ve been making progress with barre and the gym, but still feel irritation when doing quick movements or moving through positions. I guess it’s to be expected though, with increased activity. We’ll see what Dr. B has to say.

I was planning on making my first post an interview of the choreographer Anna Sperber. I have the interview, but she never approved that I could put it online so I never went ahead with it. Too bad, because her answers were pretty interesting.
I attended two classes at the Movement Research Festival, one with Ann Liv Young and another with Eleanor Houlihan. I performed in one of the festival’s performances, “Populous,” curated by AUNTS (aka. Jbird/Jamm/Jean Marie Leary). More on all the MR Festival activity soon. You can become a member of the MR forum here and read the discussions surrounding this year’s MR festival:

After the performance, they served wine and champagne and invited everyone into their rehersal studio, where they projected larger then life video of the dancers on the walls. We hung out for a few mintues (unfortunately the people in the audience I had wanted to say hi to were not there) and then journeyed on.

At the Hermes Gallery shooting an interview of photographer Gerard Uferas. An exhibition of his photographs behind the scenes of the Paris Opera Ballet is opening tonight and will continue through the end of July. The photos are in an upcoming book called In The Company of Stars which will be available in September.
It was such a pleasure speaking with him and his photographs are incredible. Look for the video at the end of next week.
Thank you Gerard and Sarah!
