Rehearsal for SDB's Romeo et Juliet. Photographer: Gregory Olive. Dancers: Abby Avery, Rachel Sebastian-Hagquist, & Leila Gardner. Things are going to get a bit messy.

Daily Stuff - Was zipping back and forth between auditions for Zoot Suit at the San Diego Rep and rehearsal at the ballet. So one moment I was teaching swing dancing then drove to finish the pas de deux section for Don Juan then drove back for more swing dancing than back to the ballet studio to choreograph the last of the girl's variations for the 3 harlots at the gypsy camp. This one is a much more lyrical one compared to the other two. It takes advantage of dancer Zoe Marinello -Kohn's extreme extensions. All that is left to set is about 30 seconds where the 3 harlots vie for Don Juan's attentions. Then there is a sort of chase that I think I intentionally will leave unfinished for the moment.
