chanda had studio time this morning at 11 am at dance theatre workshop/new york live arts to work on her new solo piece for her modern dance class. she's been listening to a piece of music by toru takemitsu called toward the sea. she's using the second movement, moby dick.
her teacher wanted her to pick a very different piece of music this year. it's a challenge to work so slowly and she's trying to focus on relaxing her shoulders and breathing, two aspects of her dancing her ballet teacher constantly corrects her for.
this is the full second movement that i found on youtube.
the view from the studio window facing north.
afterwards, we met greg at lenscrafters to help him pick out new frames for his eyeglasses.
for dinner we had leftover lamb from the amish farmer with tzatziki and onions and feta cheese on pita bread.
I also need new glasses! I need reading glasses, but you need to drive a long way around here to buy glasses. Tell Chanda, I also need to relax my shoulders and pay attention to my breathing: that's what my flute teachers always told me and Peter still tells me to put my shoulders down. I used to get horrible tension headaches from pulling up my shoulders. I'm much better now about it, but once in a while I still do it. Lovely work with dance and music.
