Natalie King has returned home to Sweet Briar and brought her friend Laura along with her. Together we created a piece for the Flux Dance Company repertoire. I have enjoyed the process and my time with these dancers even they have been bruised and blistered throughout the experience. The piece is a duet about nine minutes long. It begins with a very morphic quality as the dancers slowly roll in from opposite sides of the stage only to meet in the center. Some would call it celestial. A learning experience was had by all. I learned to use GarageBand in order to create the score for the piece. Yes I know this may not seem like great feat. However, I am 55 years old. And yes I can hear the virtual snickers of the young now. Natalie and Laura have promised to work very hard on the piece for their performance. I hope you all will be able to see them perform it live at the Flux dance concert September 6.
Happy Trails,
Mark Magruder
