this is what my non-crafting life looks like

We're currently rehearsing for an upcoming show. This is my friend Jess' choreography - she's also dancing on the right. It's ferocious. It's danced to this crazy 70's soundtrack music, and inspired by spy movies. She's infusing elements of capoeira, a Brazilian martial art/dance form, into the dance.

The show is called Rhythm and Motion and we're producing it in collaboration with a local gospel choir, the Funky Divas of Gospel. We'll be dancing for half an hour, the Divas will sing for half an hour and then we'll perform in conjunction for the finale.

All of the dance pieces have different sorts of percussive music. I'm re-setting a piece that I choreographed last year with an Indian classical dance meets contemporary dance vibe, and I'm choreographing the finale with the gospel choir. I'm nervous about the finale, because it's the most dancers/musicians that I've ever worked with in one go. Rehearsals have been such a blast though - I'm just having so much fun!
