ADF update

Greetings, everyone! How is the heat at where you are? I hope you are all able to stay cool.

It has been about 2 weeks since ADF started, and I am really happy I'm here. The composition class has already started to help me with creating my own work, and expanding my possiblities. The modern technique class can be hard on my body sometimes, but I am finding myself being challenged every class, which is an awesome feeling for me!!! The butou rehearsals are mind blowing and eye opening as always. We will be performing on July 16th & 17th, I believe, but it really does't matter when rehearsals are this interesting!! lol

Another Japanese company, Eiko & Koma came to performe and teach a master's class this passed weekend. They actually live in NY since 1976, and have been dancing together world-wide ever since. I really don't know how to explain their work, but they are so powerful in very misterious ways. For one of the pieces I saw, I didn't even notice myself crying when I was watching it.
