BEings: Works in Progress Series - Tomorrow!
The Works in Progress Series at Dance New Amsterdam is officially tomorrow (September 20th, 5:30pm, be there!). I have been talking about this show in the blog for a few weeks now, so as you can probably imagine my miniature anxiety attack about how it is going to go started up late last night at rehearsal. Those who know me know that I have the utmost faith that the show will be fine, but until the show actually IS fine I turn into an Emily blob of anxiety. I do not know how others handle their stress, but that is pretty much how mine goes on the day of a show. So anyway, the things that have been happening to prepare for tomorrows show; a fire alarm, the wrong shorts, and very sleepy people.
BEings: The Importance of Support
Support: there are so many different kinds of support that you need as a person/artist. We need financial support, moral support, etc etc. Finding that support can sometimes be very difficult. Financial support, especially, is often very hard to come by. Moral support, while still often difficult to find, is incredibly beneficial as we step into our chosen roles.
BEings: In Dance We Trust!
Hi all, so let me first say that life is so hectic in that crazy good kind of way. The Works in Progress show at Dance new Amsterdam is coming up so soon so we will be rehearsing a lot in the coming week and a half.
BEings: Dancer Introduction - Missy Wujek
I know I said a dancer a day, so please allow me to apologize as the last few days have been very hectic and I have not been able to post. Today allow me to introduce Missy, a bikram yoga addict/candy eating/math loving member of BEings.
Missy Wujek grew up dancing at The Dance Center in LaSalle, Illinois.
BEings: Dancer Introduction - Philip Northington
What is that saying about an apple a day keeping the doctor away? Well how about a DANCER a day, a BEings dancer more specifically! Please get to know Philip Northington!
BEings: Dancer Introduction - Molly Weitz
Please allow me to introduce to you Molly Weitz. As a senior in high school, she is the youngest member of BEings. She is a very accomplished dancer for her young age!
Molly began her dance training at the age of eight at the Lumiere Ballet School on Long Island. She trained for eight years in classical ballet under the direction of Svetlana Caton-Noble and Venti Petrov.
BEings: Trouble in Central Park
BEings choreographer goes to JAIL! How funny of a headline would that be?! That almost could have been the next blog topic, but this is just going to be a fun update of what went down in Central Park yesterday.
