pointe shoes!
July 29th, 2009 maggie
Don’t forget to get tickets for our show at Machine August 8! This show is full of new and old material and it’s NOT the same stuff you’ll see in October. Last chance to see some of this season’s favorites!
Johnny and I are working on a new piece just for this show. Johnny is in hir Johnathon character and I am doing the ballerina thing, with two pointe shoes this time.
I am so excited to blend our different backgrounds – my ballet and ballet partnering skills with Johnny’s contact improv. acrobatics, and clowning.
In a separate project, one we’ve been talking about since we met, Johnny is also starting to study pointe. We went to capezio last week, and ze finished sewing hir shoes in the car on the way to camp.
Johnny’s are the shiny new ones. mine are beat. I need to break in a new pair ASAP.
It’s always exciting to watch someone put on that first pair, even when they’re grown up.
