This year has again included both outside and indoors performances. At our own San Pedro Festival of the Arts in San Pedro we presented 20 other dance companies in a different outside location called Crafted at the Port of LA as the Ports O' Call is currently being rebuilt. The recent new work funded in part by the Bruce Geller Memorial Prize "A Jewish Child's Story" was also awarded a grant from LA Stage Advance (City of LA and the NEA) and it put us in residence at several city theaters where our expenses there were paid as we finished and gave a performance of the new work, and were able to get photos and a video. An upcoming grant from Culver City will help towards a new digital art component. We were able to add Part I of this new piece for four of our school residences. It is about my dreams when I was a child, and included both biblical characters and ones popular at the time- K'ton ton, Wonder Woman, and of course a ballerina. My own grandparents were immigrants, and the story is again unfortunately topical. Part II was selected for the new Orange County Dance Festival last spring. It is a work about the holocaust. The complete work has also been selected for the HHII Festival in March in Santa Barbara. 

 Just performed "Invasion", "Tap Dance Widows Club" and our full length signature version of  "The Tennis Dances" for 2 different programs presented by the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District in 2 of their 400 seat theaters. This was on Jan. 20 and 21. Then on a Red-Eye I flew to Philadelphia where we are sponsoring Spotlights at the Prince Theater for the International Performing Arts For Youth. (AND THAT IS WHERE WE HOPE TO TALK WITH YOU IN PERSON). Here we do excerpts from "The Tennis Dances". We decided on this piece as excerpts from this early signature work had thousands of performances (really) and the full 30 minute version also works for general or dance series not necessarily for children. Also, as much as we love interactive performances ("The Patchwork Girl of Oz" and "The Better to Bite You With" about Little Red Riding Hood,  we didn't know if we'd have young ones in the audience at the Prince Theater, so this excerpt was chosen.
