Here is a great interpretation of the outcome I think.
Nuts!

Criticism
A crafty mix of slick nightclub acts, sleazy cabaret, and surreal Fellini-esque shenanigans, Ballet of the Dolls’ Nutcracker: The Lost Act! probes the underside—and the funny side—of Holiday traditions. BOD’s director Myron Johnson can always be counted on to subvert a [...]

This has been an experience I will remember for the rest of my life. I sort of finished the dances…I have trouble remembering them, however. Was my memory always like this, or is this age setting in? The answer hardly matters actually. I will either remember or I will have to make something up on [...]

Well, I finally got going! I have 15 out of 34 dances kind of figured out. Today I made up 3 more dances without ever getting up from my desk…I just imagined them. We’ll see how that works out.
It occured to me this morning that this is even more of an adventure than I originally thought [...]

I should be in the studio right now rehearsing for the show. Actually, for the last week I have gotten more stuff done that has nothing to do with the show. My procrastination ability far exceeds my artistic abilities. It’s so easy when you have people waiting in the studio for you but when it’s [...]

There is so much happening right now that the thought of sitting down and writing is a bit overwhelming. Where to start? Well, The Cowles Center for the Performing Arts is about to open this coming weekend. I have met some of the people that are working tirelessly and I can only imagine how they are feeling these days. [...]

A tremendous reason to celebrate. Any time a group of people get together to try and create something new without fear of the failure which is possible anytime you do, is a real reason to rejoice. Especially when the topic is Salvidor Dali. Robert dove head first into his portrayal and Susana literally became Gala. [...]

An evening with Salvador and Gala.
We are in rehearsals for the new show. Researching and dealing with the mind of Salvador Dali can make one a bit loopy! It amazes me how much I understand him, sometimes frightens me too.
Robert and Susana are amazing. I am enjoying watching them discover these characters.
It’s based on the [...]

There is a lot going on here this week. I highly recommend seeing Zenons concert (closes this weekend) if you have not seen it. Amazing! The dancers blew me away and the choreography is intriguing and artistic. Hard tickets to get so get em fast. Besides that, in the studio, Off-Leash Area has turned the [...]

We just finished “Fashion Ball” and it was so much fun and a tremendous success, thanks to so many people. If you were here “wasn’t it fun?” if you were not here “so sorry you missed out”. Minneapolis has not been so fashion forward since the Golden (Purple) days of the 90′s.
So now, here are [...]

Well, my birthday came with a giant snow fall. The neverending winters tale! I do feel Spring in the air even when I am shoveling snow. In dance class, we are feeling a bit of humidity. So much going on right now….Fashion Ball is in full force. Heading into rehearsals and planning the party! Fun, [...]
