Rod Rogers Dance Company
Kim Grier Director

Dance Title

This is where Kim has to talk about dance. She has to cover what got her inspired, what she was feeling. The energy who wants to translate through the dancers to the audience. This needs to be done for every part of the dance, so that we can get pictures to tell a story of the dance as it goes all the way though, like a running commentary.

Let the reader into your intentions, share your insights and do not be stingy, as if you have nothing to share. Talk about the dancers, how they provide you with inspiration, and how you approach them to express exactly what you want. Why this is important, for you put a lot of work into this, each step of the way. The reason you do this is to get the dance to correspond to your vision.

Tell us about that vision, and tell us about how you worked with the dancers, at various points in the dance, to get them to conform to your ideal of what this piece is to express. Explain the hidden resources that bring you to making this decision rather than that decision. There are thousands of decisions that go into this dance, and you have to come clean, and tell us from the opening moves to the closing section, why and what, in terms of energy, relations, your own past, bring Rod Rogers into it.

I'm sure that he influenced you, talk about your own personal experiences, your trials and tribulations that got you up to this point. Talk about the differences between female male energy and how that's reinterpreted by female female energy. You have pictures of both to compare and contrast.

So I documented the dance with a bunch of pictures. five hundred or so, that you can pull from, and talk about, not the pictures, but what's going on in there. This has to be the anatomy of the dance, and my taking so many pictures has made it easy, because it will help you illustrate what's going on.

OK Kim, I'm expecting an elaborate well documented essay, or at least many vignettes that together cover what this dance is all about. Think about the audience that sees the dance, and now provide a step by step explanation, not just of the movement, but of the way the dance reaches out and touches your soul.

Go Sister!
