A Sweet Addition...

Lucky us....Michael Rioux is a "never too late" addition to the already stunning Chop Shop 2011 line up. Michael will create site work pre and mid show in various areas throughout the Theatre at Meydenbauer. Don't miss him...he is a true local original.

Until next year, SnoCo...

Well, Chop Shop: Northside! is a wrap and what an exhausting experience. I will say this to any other dance artists considering presenting work in Snohomish County....bring your best smile and a ton of patients. Trying to stir up local interest was very challenging and taught me a thing or two about promotion. I was down to handing out fliers in my local grocery store...I kid you not.

I was very pleased with the overall turn out and feel confident the audience was well taken care of. The work was wonderful and the dancers gave their all. Feedback so far gave a strong thumbs up for the whole show, particularly to Whidbey Island Dance Theatre (as many could not believe the average age of the dancers was about 17) and SD/Prism. I am quite sure nothing of this caliber (on a local level) has ever been presented in this neck of the woods and I am honored to have been in such great company. Thank you to all who danced or came to see great dancing.

Full steam ahead for February!
