Well, it was a busy summer and it continues to be a busy fall. I have been touring with a show called Cirque Le Masque, performing two pieces with Elsie Smith, a duo trapeze and a duo silks piece. It has been a great experience.
I was also recently awarded an Artistic Development Grant from Fractured Atlas, through which I will have the honor to work with Shana Carroll of Les Sept Doigts de la Main in Montreal.
Also, I have finally finished my website and would love to share it with you. Please check it out!

We did it!
Thank you to everyone that helped make Channeling come to life! There are so many people that helped out, whether it was as a performer, a donor, production crew, tech crew, volunteers, etc. Everyone was amazing! I feel so blessed to have such a supportive community, and look forward to the next MOTH creation. Now it is time to decompress, relax and hang out with my daughter Ruby. Lot of love to everyone. I'll be posting pics and videos from the show very soon.
Hooray!
Hooray!

Production...
We have assembled our production crew and I feel SO lucky. I have an amazing crew. We are in the final stages of putting our show together, working on getting the word out, piecing costumes together, finishing up choreography, editing music, deciding on lighting, looking for more funding, and getting the set design together. Sigh...all of that and then some. It is certainly coming together and I am so excited. Check in for more pictures from rehearsals soon.

Rectangled
Aimee and I are finally making progress on the vertical rectangle duo...we have entitled it De Anima, meaning On the Soul in latin. The premier of this piece will be at The Latchis Theater here in Brattleboro, for The Affair of the Arts. We have also submitted the piece to the NYC Aerial Dance Festival in May, and of course will be performing in the Channeling debut in April. So much to do, so little time it seems. Photos to come soon.

Working hard.
It has been a while since I last posted on our progress. We have been very busy and I feel like "Channeling" is starting to take shape. Scary how quickly time is flying by though.
Amanda, Aimee and I have finished the basic choreography for the trio horizontal rectangle. Aimee and I are working on a duet on a long thin vertical rectangle, which we will be performing at The Latchis Theater here in Brattleboro on March 7th, for The Affair of the Arts. More details on that soon. Also, Amanda is working on her single point trapeze piece, making progress as she befriends the beast. Bronwyn joins us back in the rehearsal studio once she is done working on the latest incarnation of Nimble Arts' production, The Love Show.
That is the what's what for now...post again soon. And check back for some rehearsal video soon.
Happy February!
