Dreams of Sugar Plums Danced in Their Heads...

Steven and I have been busy rehearsing the Grand Pas for this weekend's Nutcracker.  We will be performing in Des Moines for Iowa Dance Theatre on Saturday, Dec. 17th at 2:00 and at 7:00, and on Sunday, Dec. 18th at 2:00.  

A journalism student and friend of mine, Leah McClure, wrote a feature story and compiled video and audio tracks on my experiences in Nutcracker- Check out the full story here!

Graduate/Undergraduate Concert

This Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night I will be performing a solo entitled "You...but Better: A Girl's Guide to Getting Gorgeous" at the Graduate/Undergraduate Dance Concert.  Read the press release here.  

My piece was inspired by a very young woman I saw stumbling around downtown one weekend.  Her skin-tight dress constricted her already teetering walk, causing her to fall more than once.  A flood of thoughts entered my head, the primary one being a question of what compelled this young woman to go to such drastic measures to attain what she thought was beauty.  It wasn't long after that when I began improvising in the studio and piecing phrases together for what eventually became a solo.  

The show is diverse with all the choreography by students in the department.  I am so grateful for the opportunity to see my piece realized with lights and costuming!

Dance Film

Tonight will be the second film shoot for an independent dance film I am a part of. The film is exploring the work of photographer Francesca Woodman, considered a photography prodigy until her untimely death in 1981.  It has been a wonderful process so far, and I am extremely excited for the first screening in the spring after the film is finished with post-production work.
