Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to announce that The New Baroque Dance is about to infiltrate the Old World! I have a Show!
After sending out many packets and annoying a few theaters with semi-constant phone calls, one finally took the bait and offered me a slot in the spring line-up.
My European group is called The Punks Delight (named after a 17th c. English country dance), and I am running it with my baroque-flute-wielding friend, Beate Alsdorf. We have decided that our show will be a mix of 'traditional' and 'neo' baroque dances with all live music. I'll have three dancers (including myself) with 4 musicians-- flute, harpsichord, viola de gamba, and a singer! I'm going to try my hand at choreographing some luscious cantatas.
It is going to be a crazy amount of work, and I am going to once-again exploit everyone I know (watch out!), but I am trembling with excitement and totally ready to get back out there.
The show is at Arkadas Theater in Köln February 4th and 5th!

Congratulations! This is exciting! Punk's Delight - everything old is new again - I didn't know that punk was 17th century.
Nothing compares to the wackiness of the English Restoration.
good for you, congrats!
