Last night (Friday April 27th), we gave an intimate performance to a small group of guests. This is the nature of 19 shows: a fluctuation in the number of guests. We've done this work with a group of 100. Last night we had 14. Justin, Olivia, and Oona; John and Dan; Stan and Marsha; Zoe and Paige; Kirby; Jenae and Andrea; Mathew and Jennifer. This is the beauty of intimate performance: I can actually know the guests, hold meaningful conversations, and connect.
Justin brought his daughter and niece because he had been to a CHAC Lower Level performance last month and became interested in seeing more live performances. Olivia is an Irish step dancer and Oona takes ballet. John worked with KT on one of her earlier pieces, Residue, but he hasn't seen her perform for close to 5 years. Mathew and Jennifer know KT from New York, where they all danced together. Kirby is KT's husband, and he makes amazing snacks for our shows. Paige and Zoe are friends and colleagues. Jenae knows Amii Legandre, a close friend of Lingo's. Stan and Marsha came representing 4 Culture. ***
Tonight, the number of guests will be at least double. How will things change? Shift? Develop? Every night is so unique, even though our "performance" as hosts is more or less set choreography.
*** I apologize for any misspelling of names or inaccurate details from guests. Such is the nature of a party where we learn each others names but don't spell them for each other. And how slippery the details of personality become after a few glasses of wine and a good night's rest...
