This past we we started work on our opening concert of the 2010 - 2011 season "Mad for Musicals." I have invited Nick Owens, the past artistic director of the Kenyetta Dance Company to share the choreography of the program with me, so we both had the dancers every day for a session. Nick started by working on a song from "Rent" and I chose to start with the overture to "Candide." For those of you who know it this piece of music is fast, breezy, cheerful and full of life and we had a wonderful time putting some zany antics to the infectious rhythms.
