With a company orientation on Wednesday, May 7, and a rehearsal today (May 10) with Movement Designer Celeste Miller, Headwaters 2008 is under way. 

We created a new opening sequence today, with gestures and movements that are different than last year, but no less beautiful.  People worked well and quickly with one another, and even though by the time we taped the clip below everyone was dog tired, they remained willing to give it a try.  There are some goofs, but remember this was the first rehearsal.

We got farther in 3 hours today than in 6 hours last year – the value of repetition, and the value of newcomers to the process who are both willing and able.

It’s been a great week – we started Headwaters, and we hosted Celebrate the Arts, which is a great gift to the children of White and Habersham Counties.

It’s great to be back swimming in the Headwaters.
