I SAW MERCY LAST WEEK

April 25, 2012 By Lisa

Mercy Lift

Last Wednesday in New York City, I attended an open rehearsal of Complexions Contemporary Ballet. I love open rehearsals – you’re in the room with the dancers, there are no costumes, you hear them breathe, and the experience is up-close and personal.

GRIEF S*%#S!

April 1, 2012 By Lisa

GRIEF - Coral tree

  Warning! Sad blog follows. Don’t want to ruin your day, but maybe you feel like I do… It’s a cold, grey day in LA. And it fits my morose mood. It’s not typical. Usually in LA, the sun is shining, and the birds are chirping when I open my eyes and say, “My life […]
