Volume I

For my Birthday, to be celebrated at The Monday Night Tease, I challenged the dancers to come up with routines to "classical" music. It did not have to be Bach or Beethoven or the like, just something that represented or a more refined sense of music through instrumentation or structure.

I don't mean for that statement to imply a lack of knowledge, refinement, or ability in modern or popular music. I just wanted to remind our audience, and our performers, that there is a wealth of material available for use and inspiration, that is largely forgotten or ignored.

Also, with the common discussion of material being overused or old, the irony of even older music being ignored seemed ripe for exploration.

Volume one will be produced on Monday October 6th, my birthday and 4 year anniversary of performing as Scarlett Letter. Afterwords, I will post photos or clips and program notes for the show and then continue with other numbers that would have fit the bill.

Hopefully, you will find this trip as entertaining and educational as I do.
