Moveable Feast Q&A

Marco Gallerizzo's triptych in the lobby of the Garage

Moveable Feast was sold out again tonight and the glitches that took place on opening night seemed to work itself out this evening.  It was a much more solid show overall and made it even better that the house was filled with dancers, friends, and family.

The Q&A portion of the show was very insightful as to whether or not I was able to execute my concept of Moveable Feast.  I think the best analogy that an audience member made was that "Moveable Feast" was like a favorite food.  Once you know you like something, you begin to search for that same ingredient configured differently.  In this case, he mentioned a section of movement that the dancers executed three times that evening.

Another audience member used the word "nourished"  That as a non-dancer, she felt that seeing three versions of the same movement in different moods nourished her mind and her soul.

So, I am very satisfied with the outcome of Moveable Feast.  I felt that along with the visual artists, collaborating artists, dancers, and I accomplished our goal.  Hopefully, our audience will take what they found profound in this work and use it as a basis to critique dance in the future.

And now on to year two!
