Don Juan in Tech Rehearsal February 2013. Photo: Manuel Rotenberg. Dancer: Stephanie Maiorano. During the ballet, the Don keeps seeing the same woman in many guises. Kind of like Dulcinea in Don Quixote. In the first sequence, it's just a small appearance as a chambermaid. But she does help him out when the lord of the house comes in and catches him in a tryst. Here Stephanie is very calm, but the other characters are actually running through the audience right now in a very Keystone Cops kind of way.

Daily Stuff: 2nd In the Heights audition today. It was for local ensemble members, so I actually gave a difficult combination. It was a mixture of dance steps from different parts of the show and it was FAST. But a few people actually seemed to get the hang of it. :)

Afterwards, went to teach my adult class at SDSB. We took some time to break down some techniques tonight.
