Second Open Rehearsal Down, 5 More Shows to Go!

Yesterday was our second open rehearsal for our upcoming performance of Work : Dance : Display and both of our open rehearsals has been really informative.

One of the goals of the dance is to have the audience surrounding the dance and moving within the performance. Having foreign bodies in the space with us was, for me, such a shock. That presence really changes how I dance the piece. A new level of awareness comes out because there are people that don't know what's going to happen next moving through the space you're dancing in.

It's this sort of challenge that keeps you on your toes when dancing for Belinda. She not only is giving you incredibly challenging movement and tasks to complete, but she is also throwing an audience worth of bodies in your trajectory and making you decide in the moment what, exactly, is to be done. There is nothing mindless about presenting her work for the dancers or the audience.

If you didn't have a chance to check out the rehearsals, DON'T WORRY! You can come to the finished product and see what we're doing for yourself. But you had better get your tickets now; only 30 people are permitted per performance so they're going fast.

You, the audience, has a huge role in this piece and it just won't be the same without you! I hope to see you there.
