Happy Labor Day!

Although MCB enjoyed a restful Labor Day after last week's whip-back-into-shape rehearsal schedule, today we would like to share the poem written in collaboration by MCB Artistic Director Karen Mareck Grundy and installation artist Valerie Wedel for their piece, "Falling," to be premiered at Missouri Center for the Arts November 13-14, 2009.

Falling

Relinquish yourself to the
Cycles of sublime falling

Let the dance fall from your feet
Fall apart
Let it fall to the sky

Watch it fall back together

Everything falls to pieces
And then falls into place

Plans fall through
And you fall out of favor

Yet it falls back together again

Relinquish yourself to the
Cycles of sublime falling

This week you can look forward to a continuation of the Dancer Profile series, more daily rehearsal happenings, and anticipation over our upcoming photo shoot with Jerry Metellus on Tuesday, September 15!
