While I'm Away

I've prepared a little something to be posted while I'm busy at a dance for the camera workshop in Canada June 1-10.  Click on About Marta Renzi at right - or here to see the new Archive of the Month (ok, it's actually every six months, but you get the idea.) If I get a chance, I'll post from the workshop: what I'm learning, maybe even some footage from it?

Meanwhile, I have a favor to ask.  I've heard from a few visitors to this site that some of what I share in here might as well be Greek to them.  Is it dance jargon, references I don't explain, the dances themselves, my personal abbreviations?  Please don't let me be misunderstood (see, that's a reference to a song by the Animals). Ask a question in the COMMENTS section below. Or suggest a longer discourse on some aspect that eludes you.

Because, believe me, the goal is to communicate, not obfuscate!

Coming Attractions

Three chances to see Renzi dances - live and on video - in the coming month. Be sure to scroll down for all 3.

I'M NOT VERY PRETTY, created in 1986 as part of SOFT SELL, will be performed by a 17-year-old from Warwick, New York. Rachel Sander has created a solo show as part of her graduation from high school and asked me to make a dance for her.  She learned the 4-minute dance from a DVD, and we worked on it together a few times. Brave, smart girl, this one: when I told her the costume should be something that makes her feel a bit exposed, and not entirely "pretty," she came up with a selection of her grandmother's bathing suits. Rachel will be showing PRETTY, along with dances by herself, Clare Porter and her mentor Linda Mensch on Friday, May 8th at Warwick Valley High School. For Info: 845.986-5359
