For the past four months I have been taking modern dance classes and rehearsing for a spring concert. Finally, over the last two weekends, the shows took place. The piece I was in was kind of a cross between dance, improv/acting, comedy, and chaos. The dance, entitled "How to Meet the Needs of Your Target Audience" involved nine of us acting as if we were in a game show, an audience at a show, and performers in a show. At the end, the audience was allowed to call on their cell phones to our "dance-a-thon" line and request various things for us to dance/perform (which is where the chaotic part comes in...I was asked to roll on the floor, be a hillbilly, dance hip-hop, tango, synchronize swim, and other such requests). It was bizarre for sure, but I had a good time and enjoyed working with other ladies.
Pictures couldn't be taken during the show, so these are some of my shots from our rehearsal and from backstage. I've got lots of craft projects to post, as I was busy knitting and hand sewing in the dressing room while I waited to perform. So, stay tuned for more of my crafting!

I wish I could have seen it live, especially the chaotic part. I'm humbled by your creative use of down time backstage. I probably would have been reading People or changing the ring tones on my cell phone.
