Well, I'm back in Kaunas now. I sat down with the director of the dance company here, and it seems like they are going to have a very busy summer. There is the new baltic dance festival on the first weekend of May, then a 3-city tour of germany mid-may, some performances in St. Petersburg in June, maybe another trip to germany after that. Then there is an israeli choreographer (yossi berg) coming to create a new work in July, which will premier in the Autumn...

Tonight is the last night before I head back to the Baltics again. I have mixed feelings. There is so much to do once I get there, and so much I didn't get a chance see here. It is difficult when you are allowed only the faintest taste of something and just as you begin to get an idea of it, you must move on.

Plus nearly everyone I see on the street has the "hip brooklyn modern dancer" look, the only other options are traditional islamic or hasidic jew. It is little wonder that the audiences I have been sitting with here a...

Finally, Brussels has the kind of dance scene I`ve been looking for. There are open classes m-f, at least two dance performances this week, and a contact jam this sunday. Although the class I took today was just like those at Dance Space in NYC, both in terms of style and space. Once again I was stuck in a small room with too many people, and it seems that all over the world the only people who take release based classes are midgets. But good to have a class agai...
