Off I Go!

Last evening, I premiered my dance film, "Two Downtown" at an Art Tasting (local arts organization) event here in Winston Salem! My film was last on the program, which I didn't know, because there were no actual programs. I almost thought they'd forgotten my film! But the evening was wonderful. All of the films shown were in such variety, and there was a good mix of those films that were more funny to those that were more dramatic, or documentary oriented. I especially liked the very short (2 min) stories by immigrants who have been involved in a program where they have enrolled in a film class that teaches them basic elements of film, and they tell their individual stories through the medium. I loved that the event took place in the new art theater, a/perture, right in downtown! It felt so special! And I had a wonderful group of friends coming to support me. I also got to introduce my dad as the percussionist, Brett and Rob and Mom for her work on the film! I think everyone really enjoyed it. I only wish Mackenzie were there.

This morning, in about 45 minutes, I'll drive to Charleston, SC to see my friend Laura! She goes to school with me at Godddard, and she is a lovely musician and composer! We will hash out some ideas for some collaborative work that is to happen in the future. I don't know what to expect yet. She has some words and music to show me, and I'm so excited! With that said, I've gotta shower, and get going!

Happy day!
