Well, Hidden Language is in the can. We ran eight pieces, including several moderns, a flamenco/pointe shoe fusion, a straight flamenco, and a couple of story ballets. It was a lot of work, and months of rehearsal, but quite fun!
Here are a few photos... First up, my old partner Christine, a Reindeer in Peer Gynt, and I, the Thief from Parade...
And here are the American Girls from Parade. I got to jump into their line and do a bit of dance with them! They had the sweetest character number, about eight minutes or so, total, and they just nailed it. This is the up-and-coming new A-Team at the studio, and they are coming on strong.
A few others after the cut...

A few more from Sixth Sense...
Lois Ellyn, company owner and Artistic Director of Nouveau Chamber Ballet, insisted on using some of my scenery from Parade out in front of the theater before the show...
She's a genius!
Here are a few from the tech rehearsal, where dancers have different costumes on because there's never enough time to change before you're called back to run a prior piece again...

And Hannah Hayes, ballerina and modern dancer...
More to follow soon-ish!
