First NY Show is OVER! :( //Sense Of Matter//

18/11/2009

So my first NYC Show is OVER!!! I got the chance to work for Lori Spada in the NY Jazz Choreography Project performed this weekend at the MMAC.

We started rehearsals a month ago, once a week, every Saturday. haha.  It turns out, most of the dancers didnt know each other, and most of us had answered to a post on backstage.com to participate in this choreography. Rehearsals were a blast, it was mostly filled with laughs and some curse words here and there… the word //vagina// was used at least 100 times. haha.  The atmosphere was fantastic and filled with sweat.

The show as a whole was interesting, altough there were some pieces that were unnecessary, not to say terrible. It was apparent that Lori Spada’s groups were the best ones (since she had 2 pieces).

//Sense Of Matter// was the name of the piece that we performed, and it was a 5 couple dance to //Black and Gold// by Sam Sparro. The dance was sexy and jazzy and ugh! just terrific.

After the second show was over, at 3pm, most of the dancers went to a bar on midtown…. did we party? hell yeah! Patron was flowing, some beers, and this new tea we discovered called Spiked Tea. Very interesting. After the bar we went to Lori’s for the //afterparty on the roof// and then we all ended up watching //The Wizard of Oz// haha, picture that!  I got home at 2am.  Holy hungover on Monday.

Overall, this experience was a blessing for my NYC shitty welcome. It gave me the chance to meet exceptional people and to have something to look forward to. I’m truly ad its now over. I WANT REHEARSALS BACK.

This is the video of the second rehearsals, Lots of falling and following around… haha, but you get the idea.
