• Dance Like No One is Watching
  05/14/2008 12:31:39 PM EST
  Dance like no one is watching. This comes from a quote that goes: "Work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like no one is watching." Sometimes it takes a special circumstance for a group of words to actually have a poignant meaning to you. My mom recently gave me this advice-to dance like nobody is watching-and, really, this is the best advice I have ever gotten in my life. It is so easy to get caught up in the "what other people think of you while you dance" factor-especially when you go to Broadway dance calls regularly. After a while, you realize that if you go back to your roots, and start dancing for the fun of it, you start to get booked on jobs because people can sense your honesty. People who do what they love want to surround themselves with people who do what they love.
• Rough Terrain

  When a human makes contact with rough terrain, it is truly life changing for both the terrain and the explorer. This excavator takes a deep breath. The terrain does too. They begin to breathe in tandem-rhythmically indistinguishable from one another. He is an explorer looking to carve out his way across this land one millimeter at a time; not with tools, but with with his own bare hands, his elbows, his forearms, his feet, his shoulders and his brain. He starts with an increase in temperature. The land becomes more supple as the environment climbs a few degrees toward that of an equatorial forest's climate and less toward the chill of the tundra.
• Method or Madness...or both?

  Before I go off on the rants that have been simmering in my head, I want to mention something pertaining to a person in my last blog. I said that Eva Yaa Asantewaa's dance podcast, The Great Dance Audio Podcast is wonderful, but I said that I was sad that I didn't hear more from this podcast because of its quality content.

  Kathleen Marshall is such an inspiration. I love when I walk into a room to audition for someone, and not only are they expressing viv and talent, but also intelligence and intense focus. I auditioned as a dancer for the Broadway tour of Grease yesterday, and I was lucky enough to have been in the presence of all of these qualities. It is so great to walk away from an audition feeling like you have grown even if you don't get the job because of a person in that room who inspires you.
