AscenDance performed admirably at the Outdoor Retailer Expo, and we seemed to be of interest to the local media. We even made it to the cover of the Expo's Daily magazine! You can find some photographs here: (flickr), (facebook), all taken by Melissa Lipani. As beautiful as many of these pictures are, I hope (and believe) that the actual performance is only barely captured in these still images.
It's difficult to convey the strangeness and, I suppose, wonderfulness of interacting with an audience (audience members) that has (have) just watched you perform. Suffice it to say that our second performance in Salt Lake City very much made up for the long, hot day of physical labor that went into constructing the wall the day of the show (and tearing it down again as soon as it was over). 10 hours of labor for 2 hours of performance? Count me in.
August 14th we'll be performing at the Aerial Dance Festival in Boulder, CO. I expect it to go well, and we're all quite excited about it. If any of you happen to be in the area at that time, I offer my warmest invitation to join us!
Not too long ago someone I hadn't met before asked me (somewhat accusingly, though light-heartedly) if I was a dancer. It's funny that, at 28, the answer to that is finally "Yes, I suppose I am."
