9 months of flow

been working out of my black book; doing lots of choreography. Since i last blogged:
- finished trio with jim and katy; recorded and modified for mosaic. this was an excellent opportunity to cut out the sections that didn't work as effectively -- all the tiny stuff, for one thing, and the sections where we weren't doing anything apparently related from audience perspective;
- finished first duet (tease) with James -- performed 4 times; union square on video no less. yeah!
- began work with Khan on our piece; Ian on our piece; jim on a duet; katy on a hoop duet; new piece with james; start of synthesis...
