Of recent, I performed for "Dance Marathon 08", a 36 hours dance and theatre, durational event in Exeter, Devonshire, UK (Dec 08).
In the event, I performed in a short excerpt on "Credit" with an American-Shakespearean actor, Greek actress and British actress. It was an interesting mix of dynamics performing with them; and receiving good reception from the audience during the last six hour cycle; with the audience was laughing the heads off.
"Fewer Emergencies", which I directed, was also staged a second time but in clown costumes (the first was in tuxedos and dress). The second staging was one of the best dramatic performances I have seen from the actors. It is interesting how working with exhaustion can transform actors.
Winning best "Cha-cha" and "Waltz" couple for the 36hr long durational event with my young, British partner, were the other two highs for me. She wanted it from the beginning and I am glad that this older actor did not let her down on that aspect.
Looking forward to direct "Trojan Women" next, wonder which version I will be working on.
