Manic Monday!

Hey MCB Fans!

So sorry for the late post - we are all busy getting ready for our photo shoot tomorrow! We are to be at the studio at 8:00 am for hair and makeup (those will be some good looking "clean slates" at that hour haha!) and are responsible to bring as many clothes as we can in addition to pancaked shoes and our stage makeup. It is quite the packing process! And Chris has a brand new steamer, so at least our clothes will be wrinkle-free.

Today we finished the lecture demonstration. It was very exciting and hopefully our audiences will enjoy the new format - lots of continuous dancing! Also, Frank Stack was in the studio with us again today and was joined by Valerie Wedel, our "Falling" installation artist, the last half hour of our day, who watched us run what we have so far of Karen's piece. There were also miscellaneous board members in and out of the studio at various points throughout the day. It is great to see them as frequently as we do - we really appreciate all the time they put into ensuring our success as a company.

Also, we would like to take a moment to remember Patrick Swayze, who passed away this evening after his battle with pancreatic cancer. Everyone in the dance community should be thankful for the work he did onscreen to garner mainstream attention for our art. Sadly, we have lost another great talent.

On a brighter note, we will all be up bright and early at Orr Street Studios! Get excited for tomorrow's coverage. Hopefully we can make a midday post, including Shannon's first videoed interview question (still experiencing technical difficulties).
