A very full trip to Chicago, where we performed at the Chicago Moving Company space, a beautiful performing space in the Hamlin Park Community Building.

We included a number of sequences from material we have developed from our upcoming show, and used four cuts from Ljova’s marvelous compositions for the show. Reception was quite wonderful, folks laughed more than we expected, and the big ideas we had been hoping to get across were received loud and clear.

In the process of reworking a sequence where the four of us are turning in a line, we discovered some physical connections to our individual spaces as we turn that we will certainly use to revise the quartet version of the phrase. And we discovered some possibilities for an opening sequence for the four of us and some apples. We learned a great deal of useful information, and gained some confidence about the piece and its ability to speak to an audience.

Oh, and we went to Wrigley.  Cubs won 7-4.  Go Cubs.
