Residency in progress

My dance company is doing a residency with the Pascal Rioult Dance Theater, an incredible modern company in New York. One of Rioult's dancers, Stacey, is here for a week teaching us this crazy intense piece called "Wien" (Vienna) about people fighting to survive amid oppression and unrest in the years between the two world wars. There is a video

Dear Shauna,

Wow - it all sounds amazing, if exhausting. When I first read about it, I wondered what it would be like to translate the dance to an all-female company, and it's good to read that it's working out pretty well. I know there are videos of your company dancing, although I haven't seen any yet. But it seems like you do pretty intense work, and I bet that has helped to prepare you all for this.

Sorry about all of the owies you're facing (((((Shauna)))))....please take extra-good care of you in all the ways you can this week! I send lots of love and hugs.

Love you,
ErinBear XOXO

That is some wonderful and very intense choreography. Wow. Can see how your feet would get torn up...not to mention knees etc. The part at about 1 minute 10 seconds where everyone walks like a penguin...not sure why but seems like the only comic relief in the piece...

will be great and I hope I get to see you dance it

Yep, that section is nicknamed "the asylum" and it's the only moment when we all pretend nothing is wrong....
