I KNOW THAT THIS BLOG HAS TURNED INTO A DANCE PHOTO EXPLOSION RECENTLY, BUT I'VE BEEN SO CONSUMED WITH OTHER WORK THAT I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO WRITE RIGHT NOW! SORRY!
After missing every blogger get together throughout the past year (due to being out of town or consumed by the insanity of life), I finally managed to make it to one last night, and oh what a get together it was! Cedar Lake invited a group of 85 people (including a collection of fantastic dance bloggers) to be the first ever audience for their new "installation," Glassy Essence.
Along with the information about the performance that Cedar Lake sent out to us, they made sure to let us know that we were allowed to bring cameras and encouraged to photograph the show. This is just one of many ways in which Glassy Essence is an atypical evening.
When we walked in, the gorgeous theater space had been cleared of the usual bleachers and instead had a large table in the center, a wall with blocks reaching out of it, and curtains with images projected on them lining the walls. As the lights went down, the cameras came out, and the dancers devoured every inch of the space thanks in part to inventive contraptions and scenery which helped them explore the vertical space the high ceiling has to offer.
The 40-minute show was such a visual wonderland that I hardly removed my camera from my face at all. I guess I'll have to return, sans camera, to experience it all again. Check out Oberon's Grove for an in-depth review of the evening! It was a pleasure to finally meet so many fellow bloggers!
Nice shots!
Great to finally meet you in person after communicating online for past couple years.

Your photos are fabulous! By the by, you're in the background of one of the photos I snapped last night, with the camera glued to your face! I'll send it to you.
