Day 2 - With performances at 3pm and 8pm, we pretty much had our day mapped out.  Tech aside...the girls and I had some downtime to explore the theater.  The venue is beautiful: Arsenal Center for the Arts Charles Mosesian Theater.  Stadium seating, a thrust stage....I must say, one of the benefits of performing outside of NYC would definitely be the amazing venues in which you can show your work.

Both shows were successful, minus some costume malfunctions that were easily fixed.  We met some really talented artists and loved having the opportunity to watch some of the shows.  I am excited to see what projects these new connections may bring in the future.  But only time will tell.  Lesson 3: Keeping yourself open and approachable is so important in the world of networking.  Lesson 3.5: always have your business card!  

Day 3 - Before leaving the area we were able to take advantage of the sites of the city.  Trolly tours, site seeing, clam chowder, and a chance to leisurely walk through boston were well deserved!  It is a beautiful city and we cannot wait to return.   The trip home was easier than going, but we still had to create our own directions due to some traffic issues.  Lesson 4:  Ipod GPS is a lifesaver!

Now that we are back we will be mainly focusing on our full length show for Jacob's Pillow in August with the creation of new work as well as getting ready for our summer intensive in MD.  If you are interested in our intensive just go to www.kerplunkdance.com for more information!  Also, get ready for some outdoor yoga classes hosted by the company this summer as well as a showing in July of the work we are taking to the Pillow.  I'll keep you posted on all things kerPlunk as more information becomes available!  

PS. Thanks to Betty (Michelles's Grandmother) for housing the company! We greatly appreciate it!
