New Era of Dance

Spike Jonze Presents: Lil Buck and Yo-Yo Ma

Introduced to me by Ion Fukazawa

"The other day, I was lucky enough to be at an event to bring the arts back into schools and got to see an amazing collaboration between Yo-Yo Ma and a young dancer in LA, Lil Buck. Someone who knows Yo-Yo Ma had seen Lil Buck on YouTube and put them together. The dancing is Lil Buck's own creation and unlike anything I've seen. Hope you enjoy." --Spike Jonze

The Sirens Inside You

     For Fast Forward 2011: Spring Dance Concert I was lucky enough to be in two pieces.  One I choreographed with Avantika Saraogi (SC'13), and the other I was asked to be in by Emily Simmons (SC'14).  This was definitely one of my favorite dance pieces I've ever been in.  Emily has a real eye for symmetry and balance.  The entire piece was smooth and flawless.  I haven't done much modern dancing, so this was a fun challenge.  I fell in love with all the dancers and I look forward to working with them again next year! 

    今年のFAST FORWARD 2011: 春ダンスショーで私は二つのダンスに参加しました。一つ目は友達と作ったジャズダンスで、もう一つは他の友達(エミリ)が作ったモダンのダンスでした。エミリのダンスは本当にきれいで彼女が私を入れてくれた事をすごく感謝してます。私はモダンダンスはそんなにしてないので少し難しかったけど、みんな優しくって面白かったので今までのダンスの中で一番好きなダンスになりました!

Thanks Emily!
