The 3rd Annual Motor Dance Fundraiser, Converge, was a success! For the first time EVER, setup time, rehearsal was AHEAD of schedule and also allowed for some unexpected, but cool things to happen. For example, an SFA tv reporter came to take some shots of some dance and yoga and to interview me. I had originally thought she was coming to just film the evening, but she just wanted a few things and we were able to accomodate this before the show without a problem. I'm looking forward to seeing how that turned out.
Everyone did a wonderful job! The yoga was intriguing and cool to watch, the artwork was beautiful, the music was GREAT - (thanks to The Mustn'ts, Lee Pruitt, Russ Havard and Larry Bishop), Juanita Finkenberg and Linda Choate presented a beautiful duet and I have to say that Motor Dance danced the heck out of Notes on Life and Don't Hold Your Breath - section 1. The improvisation section at the end was a hit and something new to the Nacogdoches audience. I'm really pleased that Jennifer Micallef was able to make it to East Texas. Her explanation of the process was well put and the audience came along with us on our journey - which is always good. And as always, it's great to improv with her.
I hope that we can do this type of event again. It truly was a collaborative event and I'm touched that there were so many people willing to be involved and put their best work out there to share with people. ALSO - APO at SFA is the coolest. This organization really helped make things run smoothly. Thanks Ari!!!!
Okay, I'm done gushing. :-)
