New Song to Choreograph and Photo Shoot Updates

Driving home from Target on East Genesse I took a left onto the Nottingham High School road. "Aint No Sunshine" by Bill Withers was playing on the radio and it hit me then. I'm going to choreograph to this song.

It's only a little over two minutes long so a section of it will be good for the modern dance workshop I'm teaching April 26 (4-5:30). However I'm going to start teaching a modern dance class on Fridays from 6-7:30 (when I had "Breathe Me" practice the last two semesters) so maybe we can get through this in the next two months and perform it. Next weekend when I get back from San Fran I'll put together some posters for the class and hang them up on campus. Viral advertising works better though... as do Facebook invites.

If this were to be performed on stage I've already got the lighting figured out. Ha. My brain is always thinking of new projects to do. Speaking of which, I'm still trying to hear back from Scott about whether I can borrow those old Danceworks costumes for a photoshoot. I found these gorgeous white ballet dresses I want to a few models to wear and one see through dress (that must have been worn with a slip, but I'm thinking of shooting a nude) that I want to use when the weather gets a little clearer come early April. I'm thinking of taking a drive out to the wineries again to do another shoot, but we'll see.

The weekend after we get back (March 22-23) I want to do the shoot I've been talking about with the lace 1950s pill box hats. I want to shoot some in the studio: close ups on the fabric and the model's eyes, but I want to do a full out 1920's fashion shoot on location.

I'll keep you all posted,

-LP
