friends, family, dance, food and music

A two hour drive to Connecticut with Annie to visit Ann and family. Soup, friends and family.


A 30 minute drive to Massachusetts to Springfield College to see a student dance performance choreographed by Ann, who was the guest choreographer... It was beautiful!
Some words from Ann about the piece:
This piece is inspired by my experience in Saut D'eau (Sodo), Haiti during the annual pilgrimage to the waterfalls where the Viej Mirak (Catholic Virgin of Miracles)/Ezili Danto (Vodou female divinity) appeared almost two centuries ago. Sodo Mirak seeks to explore the fervor behind Haitian faith, identity, and existence coming from a collective history and life lived through desperate measures. In this environment comfort is found through family including spiritual community and serving God and the spirits or lwa.



After the performance, back at Ann's parents home, we enjoyed some red wine, cheese,and fig almond cake (Mmmmm)as an appetizer. A delicious tofu dinner to follow for 11 people.



And on to the next performances...
