    Thursday September 29, 2011 – On October 7th and 8th, Janusphere Dance Company will present DEVELOPING HORIZONS at the Ellen Stewart Theatre (aka LaMaMa), 66 East 4th Street. Ticket information here. Works choreographed by Darion Smith (the Company’s director), Selina Chau and Danielle Genest will be performed. Since Kokyat and I are unable to attend the performances, Darion very kindly arranged for us to watch a rehearsal tonight at the DANY studios. Above: Marie Lorena Fichaux and Milan Misko.

    It’s always nice to walk into a studio and see people we know: Milan Misko, Leyland Simmons, Selina Chau and Luke Manley. The dancers new to us each all made excellent individual impressions and we’ll look forward to seeing them again. Darion’s choreography is demanding both in terms of technique and partnering; the dancers worked tirelessly throughout the three hour rehearsal while Kokyat recorded their work with his two cameras.
