Tis the season for resolutions, right? So here we go:
Get back into my body. I’ve let my dance body go for about a year now, and it’s a shame, with all the opportunities for Contact Improv, Argentinian Tango, and the like.
Find my voice. This is one I’ve got a head start on - I performed […]
I did a performance, years ago, with Douglas Rosenberg, Heidi Latsky, and Larry Goldhuber at P.S. 122. It was great fun - lots of neat projections, cool music, and the two of them dancing together…le sigh.
It put PS 122 into a soft spot in my heart, and so I read reviews like this one with […]
This morning at breakfast I was shocked to see the Price is Right game show up on the TV at the diner…and Drew Carey as host. I’d heard that Bob Barker had retired, but I’d never expected to see Drew Carey as a replacement. I’ve immense respect for the man for his hosting talents of […]
OK, when I say “viewing”, I mean attending, and so this is really only useful if you live in or are travelling to NYC. Still, it’s a nice little snapshot of what’s current in the NYC dance scene, and I especially like her description of someone I would definitely want to check out:

” Though Brown and Chmerkovskiy were the better […]
I’m lucky enough to be in Lansing, MI tonight working with a web client, and she has invited me out to Magdalena’s Teahouse tonight to see Medicine Crow perform.
” Teaching himself the guitar at the age of twelve, Mike began playing earnestly, but being self-taught, it took him a lifetime to learn what theoried guitar […]
One of the benefits of being part of the B5Media family is that there are a lot of other bloggers out there doing neat things - though I occupy a pretty unique niche here in the lifestyles channel, and most of the celebrity watches are less about the performing arts than individual celebs.

I’m sure you’ll be able to hear this kind of thing on the DVD when it comes out, but meanwhile, here’s a nice treat: learning about the process of taking Sweeney Todd from stage to screen - including interviews with cast members, and more.

Oscar Peterson, the legendary jazz musician, died on Sunday. He is special to me because it was hearing one of his pieces performed with his trio that made me understand, finally, what the big deal about Jazz was.
It was summer band camp, and I was taking, for the heck of it, a jazz piano class. […]
I wish this were actually my article. Instead, it’s just a pointer, but a good one: NPR has written up the ways that dance critics feel that dancers set themselves apart (both as performers and choreographers). You have some of the usual suspects here - Pilobolus (have you seen their new calendar? Breathtaking!) and Alvin […]
