Pre-SUMMER update!

It has been way too long! Where to start!? This past year - since February has been a whirlwind! More press coverage, booking gigs left and right, more international touring , booking tours to Costa Rica, North Carolina, Puerto Rico and New York - with tours pending in Arizona, San Francisco, San Diego, Mexico, China and New Mexico! We've been given grants from Culver City Cultural Affairs, LA County Arts, Puffin Foundation, Durfee Foundation and we will be getting a lot more over the next several months! We are also continuing to make amazing connections with the LA community (education, arts, political and entertainment) - we found an AMAZING new space - so CT finally has an official home - stay tuned for more on that!

We have five new members who are taking our work to an even higher level - the company right now is fierce and I feel proud to share what we are doing with everyone! I really get that whatever we create - a long as it is aligned with our commitment to make an impact and inspire - it HAPPENS! Please come check us out at the Unknown Theatre in July - the show will SELL OUT for sure - so get your tickets early!

*Cesar, Omar, Lisa and I just got back from a great trip to Grand Cayman - we performed (not as contra-tiempo) but in some of Lisa's fierce choreography - it was an amazing trip - we met lots of fabulous artists/musicians - see a couple fotos below!

SOLD OUT THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW!!!

Last weekend was amazing - we SOLD OUT (actually OVER SOLD - with lines around the block!) three shows in a row at Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica. It was our first 'solo' LA show - meaning we weren't sharing the stage with anyone else - And we presented the first draft of our new work "I Dream America". Thank you to everyone who came - and those of you who didn't - make sure you are on our list (email me if you aren't) and come to our next two week run in July 2007 at the Unknown in Hollywood!

We are in such an exciting place right now - an amazing cast of performers (looking for a couple more!) - a great team of people contributing to our work: composers, videographers, costume designers and production people! We are pushing ourselves to create new work - and it doesn't even feel like pushing - we've got more ideas than ever! 2007 has already been a great year and it is continuing to surprise and delight me!
