It seems that the urge to blog has overtaken the world--at least the world of my family. My niece has started a blog to give daily updates on the life of her seven-month-old son, with photos, videos, and the whole nine yards. My daughter writes about her twenty-something life in New York and reviews all the latest popular music, including pretty incisive reviews of the goings-on on American Idol.
I have a lot to say, too, but wouldn't share personal and private thoughts here. This will be my place to share about my experience at San Luis Obispo Little Theatre, directing Annie Get Your Gun, with relevant digression.
Yesterday I attended a dance concert at Cal Poly by the American Dance Studio. It was a tribute to the company's founder and guiding light, Pat Jackson, on the tenth anniversary of her premature death from breast cancer. What an inspiring afternoon! The show mixed footage of Miss Pat, as she was called--teaching, talking, and dancing--with live dance numbers by a huge troupe of local dancers, including the current American Dancers, of course. Suzy Miller choreographed most of the numbers, which were brilliant--funny, graceful, moving, and colorful.
I came home more determined than ever to make Annie Get Your Gun as excellent as I humanly can. It won't hurt, of course, that Miss Suzy is choreographing my show.
