Working with Dancers

My daughter Beth who is a contributor to this blog is now developing an online course for dance appreciation. It is so interesting to see how dancers see the world differently than musicians. There is, however, one common interest -- dancers and composers and musicians together is the most fun. I produced a concert where composers wrote and performed their music live while the dancers performed to the live music. What a high. It was the best of all performing worlds. Talk about multi-media (no electronics necessary).

The energy is great. The dancers in this production came from Mexico and others from Wisconsin. The composers were from Wisconsin, Irvine, New York, and faculty from MCC.

Hmm . . . thinking I should do another one of these.
