Reading The Tea

Starting a dance company is both harder and easier than I thought. I was worried about finding spaces for rehearsal and performance opportunities. It turns out that there are lots of affordable studios right in my neighborhood. (NYC DanceSpaces is an amazing resource.) There are also quite a few festivals, works in progress nights and shows that have applications that seem doable. The challenge that I didn’t really think about is rehearsal time. Scheduling. The more people (busy people, at that) involved, the more challenging finding a time that works for all of us. Still, I’m excited about this project… It’s funny, I’ve been wanting to get back involved with the modern dance world (choreographing and performing that is) since I moved here almost a year and a half ago, but it seemed so daunting. I guess that one just has to start. “Once the feet are put right, the rest of it will follow.” Now we need a name for the group. Any ideas? The ideas are starting to flow, and an amazing composer friend of mine may be up for collaborating. Stay tuned…
