Last week, Pacific Northwest Ballet posted this video on their YouTube channel, asking people to make suggestions for the title of one of their Next Step performances.
And they picked mine.
I got to help name a world premiere ballet! I feel really honored. Thanks, Sean Rollofson and PNB!
This is so cool! Congrats!

Ted Shawn’s Men Dancers
I really need to figure out when I can visit the Pillow this summer. Anyone up for a roadtrip/train trip to the Berkshires?

Architecture and Dance: Why Patterns, Tile Dancer, Pharmacophore, Site Specific Dance
Why Patterns is another amazing performance I got to see last summer at Jacob’s Pillow.
Oh goodness, my love for Jonah Bokaer is kind of ridiculous.

Doug Elkins + Friends will be performing Fraulein Maria at Jacob’s Pillow this summer. As if there aren’t a million and one reasons why I need to figure out a way to get to the Berkshires this upcoming summer.
Needless to say - OBSESSED.

NOWNESS - Benjamin Millipied x Philip Glass
I’m really glad my slightly ridiculous obsession with finding cool dance related things on the web was helpful to both my current and previous internships today. But seriously, this short film from The NOWNESS is magnificent. The choreography, filming, dancing, and music are all beautiful. I was already obsessed with Benjamin Millipied’s choreography, but this is just stunning. (Pause while I take a moment to remember watching Ballet Geneve perform Closer, a duet he choreographed, at the Gala. Also, pause while I think about how I had trouble taking photos because I had tears streaming down my cheeks.) And I’ve written a few times about how much I love Philip Glass’s compositions. (Again, pause while I dream myself back to the Gala and marvel at taking photographs of his hands on the piano.)
The section with the reflection of Craig’s hands in the mirror is my favorite.
(Also, thank you to Kirin and Michael for introducing me to the absolutely gorgeous NOWNESS short films.)

Hofesh Shechter at Jacob’s Pillow, Summer 2008.
Why didn’t I watch this when I was hanging out in the archives? AHHHHHH.
Also, I miss the Pillow.
