Well it has been one hell of a long time since I have updated my blog. A lot has happened since the last time I updated. I recieved a scholarship early this semester, and then last week, was informed that I will have a scholarship for the remainder of my time at UVU!! I performed both at the Northwest Region of the American Colledge Dance Festival, and at the UVU Senior Showcase! I have also applied for a "Scholarly and Creative Oportunities Program" grant to start choreographing a new piece.
This new piece will be about society's veiws on the body; specifically the body in motion. I plan on asking some very tough questions through my research and choreographic process, and the final choreography. These questions may seem mundane for those of you who do not live in Utah, however, in Utah (esp. Utah Valley, these are extremelly taboo subjects, and there is a lot of hypocrisy concerning these issues (something I plan to address).
I have already cast the piece, to speed the process, and I am very happy that all the dancers I wanted are more than happy and willing to do it, and also feel the same way about these issues as I do!! I have one more person to find, a man (preferrably another gay man, or a straight man comfortable with homosexual material)
Well i gotta get back to my crazy life.......


~Keep Dancing~
