Trying to get support to produce my own choreographic work is a daunting task. For a year I applied for everything. It wasn't working out. I almost gave up. And then my luck changed and the support came pouring in. Isn't that how it always happens? Yesterday I started rehearsals for my newest piece
Londonderry, inspired by the historical figure
Annie Londonderry and the role of bicycles in women's liberation. I am working with 3 brilliant dancers and I feel great about what we've been able to accomplish in our first two days. We're on a roll!
Ha! Sorry, I had to.
Anyway. Aren't these bikes amazing? The ones with the big wheel are called Penny Farthings and my very own grandpa collects and RIDES them! I'm hoping I can use one or two as set pieces in the first production of the piece at the
Dumbo Dance Festival on September 29th.
