This Austin trip has been a stimulator. We have a full show now, complete with masks and texts and disturbing imagery. We have been rehearsing since Monday without a day off. And it's all been heavy and philosophical. But Danielle, Karama and I (the 3 staying in Charles' house this trip) have made a point to go out, to laugh, to get excited about dance again by watching clips of each of our inspirational artists and so on. Together, we feed off of our love for good solid movement. Karama showed me this artist who is apparently a very famous choreographer, Crystal Pite. She is amazing!! You should definitely YouTube her. Every time I watch another clip I want to get up and create. I want to snap my fingers together and have a group of dancing bodies that I can make do beautiful things like she does. It's so mesmerizing.
So we have been supporting each other in our continued pursuit of dance as a career (I may have convinced Karama to move to LA next year yay!) and- more than that- a valid career. And after all of this hype and exciting mornings spent loving our art, I am so pumped to get the ball rolling in LA, finally! I will be in more classes, involved in more audition searching, and simply, seeing more dance- live or online. I forgot how refreshing it is to just watch really awesome dance!
