to infuse... to encourage... to invigorate...

All we have is today...

Performing tonight at Callalilai Boutique was an exciting experience. It was raw material, mostly improvisational. We danced around the store and then in front of the boutique for 3 hours straight. Coming from a formal dance training background of performing arts schools and collegiate dance programs I am very comfortable on a stage or in a studio. But there's nothing like thrill of improvising just below Union Square in New York City. In a place saturated with art people can never get enough. It amazes me how captivated onlookers are at us. Some stop for a moment and smile, some linger for hours. The connection is pure electric. I have to soak it up and enjoy those moments for they are few and far between. All we have is today...
