awwww......shucks, ma'am.


I have an advance copy as well. As a dancer, I hope my part has some usefulness. all I know is that Michelle descended upon my home, wielding a camera and demanding coffee with sugar -- like a commentary ninja.

We recorded soooo much talking. I think she did an excellent job picking out the main points. ...Even though I was toying with her at first and saying 'the key to a good performance is getting very drunk backstage'

I was also really pleasantly surprised by the workings of the dancers' minds. Everyone on the DVD is an acqauintance or friend of mine, and I have had many conversations about dance with them. But I still got to hear some things that made me go "huh!" or "I never knew that's what she was thinking"

One of the dancers I kept rewinding was Sandra. I liked her commonsense descriptions of the process she has when making her pieces, and I liked when she talked about how certain approaches are better for certain mediums. Michelle made some rather interesting, candid remarks as well.
