oh well

I didn't make it into that NY performance in September, but I'm only slightly disappointed.  I had already figured that I wasn't quite the calibre they were looking for, subsequently confirmed by the list of performers who were accepted, and I was dead tired when we did the audition tape.  It also may be submitting a piece with wings hurt my chances, as Ayshe is in the event and there's just no competing with that.  And my audition piece was a minute and a half longer than the guidelines stated.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained, I guess.  I am a little bummed, but it does make life a lot easier in some ways and it's not like I don't have enough going on up here, I know I'll have at least three shows in Sept. already plus planning for the Tempest workshop and gothic hafli in early Oct.  Man, this grass is totally greener ;-)

edited to add: Oooh! I just found out that not only will Tempest have a tribal fusion instructor with her in Boston, but it will be Ariellah, one of the co-founders of the Indigo and fine fine gothic tribal fusion dancer! Squeeee!!! I'm much happier about planning all this than I would be about going to NY, I sincerely tell you! :-)))))

OK, I tried looking before asking, but I can't find anyway to sign up for Tempest's workshop in Boston. Do you have a link? I might have a conflict anyway, but with both a goth and a tribal fusion dancer there to teach, I'd really like to try to make it.

The link would be me--I don't have enough details yet to work out pricing, but once I do, I'll be publicizing it to the four corners of the earth ;)

I'm really bummed about the NY thing, but happy that there's happier thing going on up here.

Sorry to hear that you didn't get in (what are they, blind? :) )...but happy to hear about Ariellah!

I'm taking care of all of the Durga deets this week, so stay tuned, it's finally freaking happening :)

And I think you would have been a beautiful addition to the show...

[alonewiththemoon]

yay, I'll keep my eyes peeled! (well, not really, that would be gross.)

Thanks for the nice words--really, I'm happier to put my energy into nurturing the gothic dance scene up here than into performing in somebody else's already established scene somewhere else :-)

Yeah! for the Tempest/Ariellah workshop coming up in Boston! I know quite a few bellydancers who will be very happy to hear this! Definitely keep us posted!

Bummer about your NY thing...
