The difficulty of creating a marriage ceremony in a ballet. In this case it was easily solved by using a lasso. Having the couple step over the wreath together created a simple physical moment that resonated with most audience members.

All of the hyper hubbub of the Wedding celebration was contrasted by a simple rund dance that brought us into the final movement. The connected circle also served as a reminder to the Don that he was a figure outside of society and would in al probability, always be.

Daily Stuff: SUDS days off. SDB day off.

First day of In The Heights rehearsal. Things went very well. Did a little bit of show and tell with the SCPA students. And then the cast did a read/sing through. All of the leads were brilliant. They pretty much now all of the music. It looks to be a great show.
