Was last nights show at the Roxy Theatre on Sunset Blvd, in Hollywood exceptionally particular from any of the other hundreds of shows we've had or venues we've rocked? Aside from the first time that I saw the words, " Apoetnomadali " on a large marquee, not particularly. Sadly enough, not only were my intentions to do something provocative, different, and captivating for the audience who came to see Apoetnomadali , the same, but my expectations of the professionalism and integrity of the venue and its staff (from booking,to sound, to lighting) also remained idealistic. Big Mistake, once again. Lets begin by the number of things that were covered in the days leading up to the show: Will you have 2 Cordless Mics for us? "Yes" (truth: No!) Will the stage be big enough for our dancers? "Yes" (truth: No!) Will we be able to sound check? And what time? "Yes...7:30" (truth: No!) Will the lighting guy pay attention to our lighting script? "...
Our creations are reconstructions of the way we experience the world reconfigured into artistic expression that reveals truth about the world inside us and the world around us. From an early age, I was aware of the responsibility that came with my gifts and I have tried to use my voice to create works and experiences that facilitate connection, hope and self-belief in others.
