Hillwood Pictures






The New York Baroque Dance Company had another rollicking good time at the Hillwood Museum this year. I think this is the fourth time that I've done this job, and the security guards are my pals. However, that apparently that does not translate into being able to eat my sandwich on Mme. de Pompadour's plate (ok, so it is too late to be her actual plate, but she did own the Sevres factory for a while...). Oh, well.

This was also the very first time that I got laughs from the audience while playing Columbine. All I had to do is polish pebbles and dust people in the audience. I also was shot by Harlequin, but I'm not sure if people laughed at my extremely broad theatrics while dying--- I was too busy rolling my head in a circle and gasping for air to notice. Caroline was the naughty Harlequin!
