Getting in the mix with MIXER

Starting "something new" has not been so easy. Back when I began this blog in January I was filled with inspiration, and ready for dialogue. Needless to say, although still interested in dialogue, it's been a little difficult getting into the swing of blogging. But, I'm working on it!

These days I'm consumed with preparing for EDGEWORKS Dance Theater's Red, Hot & Riot Gala - an exciting spring, and sizzling event, to celebrate 10 strong years. It is also about entering a new phase in our journey. This 10th anniversary season included a dense schedule of activities, the premiere of Trigger, and some special projects such as EDT's upcoming program Mixer. 

Mixer is a special showcase performance created specifically for EDT's 10th anniversary season. It will feature the choreography of current and former EDGEWORKS members.  It's been one of my goals for a while now to present such an opportunity for my dancers. More than just another opportunity, it is another unique way of putting EDT's mission into motion. Through this project, audiences will experience the artistic voices of five different men who truly embodies the art of dance as a way of self expression. It's so cool to be a vehicle for creating such opportunities. More details coming soon.

So, as I'm getting in the mix or, at least trying to figure that out, I hope you'll consider mixing and mingling with me at our Red, Hot & Riot Gala. (Link: http://www.hjwedgeworks.org/events_special.php). You can't go wrong with great food, drinks, and good music while supporting a good cause. :-)
