wanna add one more priority to Karl's list for this season: MOVEMENT.
suuuper duper thrilled to see Houston Ballet's production of Kenneth MacMillan's Mayerling this May. i want all those kids and experienced performers w/ spin accounts on Insta to be as excited about learning stuff like this as they are about learning the newest daredevil trick toss.

maaaybe a little less PG-13 lol. but look at the technical command combined w/ the commitment to character, you feel the performers' lust tinged w/ self-destruction, even as they do the most ridiculously demanding things w/ their bodies lol. it's pure communication.
even at the highest levels in IW there's a lot of room for growth here. opens new equipment avenues too.
