I was a lonely soul, but that's the old me...
How is it the middle of May already? I am entirely behind.
This is my reminder to y'all who are local, and who follow me here on livejounal, and on facebook, to come see me dance in the annual eXit SPACE performance, takePAUSE. It will be on June 1st, at 8 pm, at the Broadway Performance Hall (1625 Broadway, Seattle). You can get your tickets at brownpapertickets.com, which I recommend, because the last couple of years we have sold out. SOLD. OUT. I know, crazy. But if you want to see a fantastic night of dancing, with talented, athletic, powerful dancers who will knock your socks off, then you should get your tickets now. There will be ballet, jazz, modern, and hip-hop. (Tap is only in the matinees, because of marley floor issues. And those have all the small children performances, which are already selling out what with parents and grandparents, etc. I recommend the evening show.)
I'm in three pieces this year. I planned on two, but it morphed into three, because our jazz class was offering the chance to also be in the Hot Honey Rag, which is from the musical 'Chicago.' Yes, using Fosse choreography. Yes, it's very hard, although, if done right, it doesn't look hard at all. Uh, I'm trying to do it right. I have to admit that sometimes I feel like a flaily muppet. Yes, I might impersonate Farley the Funky Ferret (only Lara will get that one) during key moments of the piece. You should come, if only to see that. (Now I have "Gotta Get That Name" in my head. Oh, Muppet Fairy Tales, what hast thou wrought?) Oh, another reason to come see this: you'll get to see me wearing bootie shorts, fishnets, and character shoes. Uh, well, it might not be a good reason. But it's a reason.
I'm also in one other jazz piece, and one modern piece. I'm trying to be very careful with my knees and my body, and mostly it's working. I have twinges and soreness, but ice and massage and being very good about my knee exercises (Note to self: do your knee exercises, you haven't been good) definitely help. Which is a relief, because dance is one of the things that keeps me happy and sane. Ish.
So: to wit - Look us up. Buy some tickets. Here's a link to the facebook page for eXit SPACE, check it out. Come see some wonderful dancing.
