Behold the Light!


For the past few months I have spent my Saturdays with these dancing fools.


 And by that I don't mean they are fools. Just that they dance. They are (but really I should say WE are) Behold Dance Collective.  This experience has been a lifeline for me during this raaawther difficult and overwhelming period of my life.  I have loved the challenge and the physicality.  I have loved disappearing into something bigger than myself.  We rehearse four hours every week and I have felt the same sociality that one might expect raking leaves with some pals in heaven. Ya dig?
(It is a very friendly, productive, comfortable feeling.)
Here we are rehearsing. It looks like I am the star because the paparazzi were only taking pictures of me that day but actually(and you might want to sit down because this came as a shock to me too)I am not the star.

If you live in the East Bay area (and by area I mean the continental U.S.) I expect to see you at the Christmas show with a few friends in tow.

 Seriously. I will be looking for you. And if you don't come then you are banished from the kingdom. (And in case you were wondering the kingdom is not my blog. I would never banish you from here. This is a safe place.) Did you hear that? I said BANISHED.
And if you do come I will definitely sign autographs.
(Note to self: Bring glossies.)
You won't be able to miss me in the show. I am the second from the left in the second from the back in the second from the third box on your downstage left.
But then I move. 
Don't look at my feet because they don't know the steps. 
Do look at my face because I will be selling it. 
Behold the Light and then partake. It is delicious.
Spread the good word.

  5. I am sooooo jealous. I want to be in it too! I'll be the second from the right in the second from the back. I'm sure there's something just like this in Gages Lake, Illinois.
