Self-promotion aplenty!

Lately, I reference my day planner multiple times a day. I have many things going on at once, so difficult to keep straight...and no sign of letting up soon. All that I can think about is everything that is coming up on the calendar. Here is the immediate news.

The GI Alliance Dance Company show "Gut Instinct" opens this weekend, and marks the first time that I will perform works from the same concert over the course of a full month. Performing a concert for more than a one-weekend engagement is new and exciting for me as a dancer, a pretty rare opportunity. Unfortunately, dance is very underfunded, and most companies could potentially LOSE money by offering a second weekend of shows. That being said--come see our show! Dancers and choreographers work hard and long to put together a show, and shows need audiences.
("Gut Instinct" will be at the Galaxie on Belmont and Rockwell, May 8, 9, 15, and 16 at 7:30. Tickets $20.)
I'll also perform one of the pieces in Rebound Dance Festival on May 27, and then we take half of the concert on tour to Detroit in June!

If you didn't already know, my husband is an actor. He has been working with Absolute Shakespeare and just opened a show last night with Red Tape Theatre. I was lucky enough to see a preview of Red Tape's show "The Love of the Nightingale." I highly recommend this show to anyone who enjoys performance that incorporates dance and physicality. Just a beautiful, well done show.


Stay tuned. I promise I'll write a more thoughtful entry next time.
