dancing birds
Just learned on MySpace that Wade Robson got an Emmy for the Hummingbird and Flower choreography--that makes me so happy! It's so deserved. I just wish the dancers could share in the award, because it wouldn't have been the same piece with anyone but Hok as the hummingbird. Jaimie was good too, but he made it special.
Speaking of dancing, I had a blast performing at Ceremony last night. Thanks to all of you who were there to help create a wonderful supportive audience! I've been working with that song (Siouxsie's Into A Swan) for a while but that was the first time I performed it in front of people. I was happy with how it went and I'm really looking forward to performing it again at Raks Spooki after working on it some more. There is just something about that song that grabs me and pulls, the way all your best "OMG This Is the Best Song Ever" songs do. I felt like I was able to get some of that across in my performing.
I am also very glad I did not take out the disco ball or any of the lighting with my wings. To my great relief, I was able to keep my windmill turns stationary enough to stay underneath the small bare area of ceiling just behind the disco ball ;-)
