Pre-Graduation Crunch

Some Recent Thoughts:
Exactly three weeks until I graduate and enter the real world...

Saw Christopher Fleming's Tommy The Rock Ballet at Adelphi University, performed by my peers.  Shocked at how bad the professionals were in the show.  Although the students weren't used to such rigorous pointe work, there was true artistry in their performance.  The professionals looked bored, limp, and some had some technique issues that seem to never have been fixed...  Not to mention the choreography seemed out of sync and anticlimactic compared to the music.

HATCH performances at The Works studio in Manhattan with If/Then Dance May 7th and May 14th


Also performing a work by Adelphi faculty member and recent Taylor alum, Orion Duckstein, on May 6th and May 13th at Adelphi University in Garden City, Long Island.  Beautiful piece with music by Part :)

An update on HT Chen Company:  The other seven dancers and I invited to the callback, have been asked to continue coming to rehearsals three days a week.  After the audition, callback, and a rehearsal, I realized it was just too much for me right now, unpaid, with graduation lurking around the corner.  I had to tell them that unfortunately I couldn't make rehearsals at this point, but  I will be very much available in three weeks and hopefully they will think of me in the future.
