what am I even doing here?
This block usually contains links to upcoming performances--but right now a lot of things are up in the air. We're still (still!) in the midst of a major pandemic, my primary company remains on hiatus at least through the end of the 2021-2022 season, and I'll be moving across the country later this year. That doesn't mean there won't be gigs coming up, though--so as soon as I have a better idea when things are happening, I'll post 'em up!

For me this comes under “stuff that happened on intensive week but God help you if dynamite or cap’n marmite suddenly calls for one now”
I was having the same problem for a long time—brisée almost never comes up in class, probably because everyone’s terrified of it, but it shows up in advanced class from time to time, at intensives, and in auditions, at which point I’d grit my teeth and approximate as hard as possible.
Fortunately, BW takes requests, so now we do it all the time in his class 😀
