fun in the studio / כיף בסטודיו

After ballet class, I continued to move. 
The first phrase came to me yesterday 
while listening to "Billy Says Go" by Audion.
The second was born today, from the first .
(You will forgive any sloppiness. These are simply for memory.)
אחרי הכיתת בלט המשכתי לנוע ולזוז
אתמול הרעיון הראשון בא לי 
כאשר הקשבתי ל"בילי אומר לך" מאודין

I continue to read Twyla Tharp's "The Creative Habit". 
Here is a summary of the book, given by contemplative photographer Kim Manley Ort (more about her).
Good things will come.

עוד כיף: הינה וידאו אחד מחזרה לפרוייקט "משי סקס ורעל" מהשנה 2011. שלחתי אותו למנהלים בעיר כדי אולי הם יאשרו לי לרקוד עוד פעם עם אוהד ושחר 

For fun, here is one video from a rehearsal for the Silk, Sex and Poison project from 2011, under the tutelage of Liz Lerman, who was then a resident artist at Harvard to teach class and develop her work on Healing Wars. I sent this video to the managers of the Gaga Intensive in NYC today. I hope that they will accept me-- would be so good to dance with Ohad and Shahar again.
