Opening

After a fast an furious couple of days (and nights) of incorporating all of the elements - dance,  music, costumes, lights and the space - we've arrived at opening night. Our new frame, the Neptune Studio Theatre, gives the piece a whole new look and feel compared to the dance studio - this is something I always forget. The last piece of the puzzle, perhaps the most exciting and most important, arrives tonight. See you there! 

Threnodies at 8:00 pm at Neptune Studio Theatre 

(1593 Argyle Street, Halifax, NS)

Followed by the always enthralling, Granelli, Crofts, Oore and Oore!

Surfacing

Some pictures from the past week's work... What a week it was! Don Rieder joined us in the studio to help us reveal the piece. It was a deeply enriching experience for me - working with Don and the dancers to shape the work,  add texture, enrich the dancer's internal world. Giving focus to the face, hands, breath...working out the kinks, cutting out the extraneous,  unraveling and reconnecting. Underneath the structure of what we built was a whole world that has begun to surface...

Thank you Don, Jacinte, Sara and Rhonda. 

Next week we reconnect with the musicians to weave the whole piece together. 

5 days till the opening!

One week away!
