By driving straight thru from Massachusetts yesterday we were able to take in GroundWorks Dance Theater's performance at Trinity Cathedral this evening. Of the three pieces we saw tonight I was most moved by Just Yesterday which is based on memories of the dancers' families.
It was an extremely moving piece since some of the memories were of the Japanese immigrants and their incarceration during World War II.
David Shimotakahara, the founder of the company, doesn't dance as often as I would like but tonight he was in two pieces. (David is the one in the long-sleeved white shirt.) One was a new duet based on the relationship he has had with Amy Miller, the artistic director. They have been dancing together since 1998. My Sweetie and I saw them in their first performance. Since she has moved to New York while her husband is in culinary school, this may be the last time we see her dance.
Enjoy.

Hi Loren and Donna,
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely post. Not sure who is turning 65 because neither of you look as though you come close. Very glad you enjoyed the show and got to see Amy. Thanks again for being there.
