Saturday, 21st June 2008 - after the showing...

... posted on the longest day...

The showing went very well. Beautiful performances from Kally, Steinvor and Dmytro. Everyone so together. The cameras and receivers worked, too - so, I was able to do what I wanted to with the projections. A wonderful, attentive audience - all ages, all professions - invited to walk around the performance, many did. The space was charged with energy! Terrific Q&A, great questions and discussion. Wish it could have gone on longer, but we had to strike everything (including the rigging for the harness - which Jonothan did) to clear the studio for evening classes. A few drinks and snacks after, across the Grassmarket, to end the day and two weeks of very focused, intensive work. We'll come back together in August, briefly, for a few rehearsals and a Heads Up performance just before I fly back to Springfield, MO.

Thanks again to everyone - Kally, Steinvor, Dmytro, Sheila, the entire Dance Base staff, all who came to the showing - and of course to Morag Deyes MBE for inviting me for the summer and offering the residency, and to the Missouri State University Graduate College, who awarded me a Summer Faculty Fellowship for the project.

And now... on to editing the video footage from the showing, from two cameras. And then deciding on the next configuration. So: to be continued...
