Cedar Lake’s new blog…and other news

1. I distinctly remember Cedar Lake dance company founder Benoit Swan Pouffer saying “Of course, I’m not going to    start doing it.” And by “it” he meant “blogging.”

So I was surprised this afternoon when I recieved an e-mail from Cedar Lake announcing their new blog, readable here.  I was also surprised to see that Mr. Benoit Swan Pouffer penned their first post.

He writes:

I’m excited that we’re putting together our first blog. During the creative process you’ll be hearing from the dancers, the designers and my collaborators. I really want this to be interactive so leave comments or questions if you have them.

It will be interesting to see how often and how much they will post.

2. Thanks to friend and fellow-blogger Philip, I’m getting to see Daniel Ulbricht perform in “Prodigal Son” again tonight! I’m so thankful for Philip’s kindness.

3. I’m depressed that the NY Phil’s upcoming concert featuring Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no. 6 is sold out! I was on the fence about going for several weeks, because the 6th makes me bawl like a child.

4. The upcoming NYCB performance schedule includes “The Chairman Dances” with Abi Stafford (gosh I love John Adams), a new Wheeldon ballet, “Stars and Stripes” (with Daniel!), “Apollo” and Kathryn Morgan debuting in “Flower Festival pas de deux.” I’m going to go absolutely broke and if I can swing it, will be in the theater as much as possible.
