Thanks for a great semester!


Hey everyone.... Thanks for everybody who has sent revised reviews so far. They look great. Keep ’em coming. I want to get as many of them online as possible. What I've been doing is just reading them over, making a few edits, and then sending them back to you to look over and then forward on to Eric. 

Maria just sent me a bunch of amazing photos of the STREB performance. I've picked out a few of my favorites and posted them here. I particularly love this one (above). For those of you who couldn't make it, this guy is trying to worm his way through a plexiglas box full of five other dancers. (Abigail described them, appropriately, as looking like “very flexible sardines”). Sweaty ones too! I hope they clean that box between performances.

So I'm really proud of all the great work you all did this semester. Thanks so much for hanging in there with the herky-jerky schedule and working on your writing despite all of your other commitments. David Cote, by the way, was really impressed with all of you. We both agreed that we were doofuses in comparison to you guys when we were in high school. 

See you Wednesday!

Trampoline

This piece was super cool. Just seconds after this spring-loaded picture was taken, the dancer flew out of the trampoline and then posed in the air before thudding down on the mat. Another dancer followed, and another, and another, each one suspended in the air for just one moment, stock-still. Hypnotic!

"Fly" by Maria Gindler


I love the color on this one. I don’t remember it being so brilliant. The dancers are suspended by rappelling cables from the ceiling and “flying” down the wall.
