day 13- Changing it up, photos from my recent solo!

So day 13 was suppose to be, "a letter to someone who has hurt you recently." This didn't interest me, at all. I haven't really been hurt by anyone recently and even if I had been, why dwell on it. I have no need for a pity part right now, so I am going to change it completely and post pictures of my recent solo at The Garage Performance Space in Aug 2010. The solo is called "Love Thee...Not" I suppose this could be my "letter to someone who has hurt me." I mean I'm an artist and all art is based off of personal emotions anyway, right?

The solo explores love, loss and the desire for more. It kinda started in a round about way. Basically I am so happy in my relationship I realized all my past relationships had no meaning to me anymore and the work I wanted to create was lost because I was so happy! I was told (sorry for the language folks) "you are too fucking happy to be an artist right now!" It was said as a joke, but somewhat true. So for this solo I found 3 songs "P.S I love you," "My Sweet Song," and "Don't wait too long" all with lyrics (I never use songs with words) and all kinda the same 50's feel, sung by women. And I took the line from Sex and the City "It takes half the total time you dated someone, to get over them." and I added my own "Shit" in there! Basically this idea of limbo to find happiness. I actually like the direction it is going and my SF Choreographer has invited me to continue working on it and tour with his company this spring! I will be performing it in a few CA cities and Philly! Very Excited. All photos were taken during dress rehearsal by Elazar Harel
