jaema joy dance is presenting The Way We Danced 'Til Three on Thursday, May 31st and Friday, June 1st, 2012, at Theatre80 St. Marks in the east village.
this is my very first full-length production in new york city. today i rode the F train up to the theatre, slapped my signature on a contract, threw down a down payment (heh) check for $1200, and it's done! then i came home and hooked my facebook up to my twitter account (maybe even more intimidating than signing the contact.... follow me @jaemajoydance).
and then i ran out my nervous energy at sunset from my apartment in brooklyn across the bridge to city hall and back.
i'm thrilled. and feeling inspired. and feeling pretty terrified! but i'm so grateful to my kickstarters out there - there's no way my personal budget could have permitted an opportunity like this. and i just keep thinking about that old quote (that may or may not be from goethe):
"until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too .... whatever you can do, or dream to do, begin it. boldness has genius, power, and magic in it."
i have begun!
so i'd guess i'd say today has been a pretty big day. one of those days that you could have told my 15-year-old self was coming ten years down the line and she probably would have passed out in thrilled disbelief.
