In Transit

Final performance of In Transit. Love this musical about New Yorkers and their stories. “Breathe and let the madness in… this is how it feels to be alive in New York City… this is what it feels like to be happy in the moment.”

Aliens Coming

Saw a fun musical tonight about love, sex, friendship, and aliens extracting the genitals of the entire human race. Great job Christine Ferry with the choreography! Who else can blend together these themes with dance better than you?

Hamilton: Jon Roa on Dance

Hamilton and post-show curtain chat with the cast. My favorite is Jon Rua‘s response on the role of dance in Hamilton (paraphrased).

“If the musical was a book, then the choreography would be the pages of the book. It’s the thing that people see. As for the dancers, they not only tell the story of Hamilton, but they are the story. Dancers have nothing but their body as their instrument. They are like the immigrants who arrive in America with no money, no family, and no friends. They fill the stage, tell a story, and create everything out of nothing.”
