The New Exploration

The last two solo performances have been improvised. With almost negative time to rehearse I spent a couple hours at night in my living room dodging toys and furniture to dance. I listened to Lana Del Ray over and over and over to memorize the music. It was in my head and in my body. I often woke up still singing it in my head. I was really excited to see what would happen when I had more space and less stuff in my way. The performance was at The Muse for the MuseIam monthly showcase. It was an amazing showcase experience. I was the only contemporary dancer to perform. There was burlesque, silks, a hammock, hula-hoop and Chinese pole. The crowd was super supportive. I received wonderful feedback as well as generous compliments after the show. The next show is May 30th. Go if you can or even submit to be in the show. My next venture it to try to sing while I perform. Lets see if I can get the nerves out and the voice open.  Check out video here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hcmo36j_sI
