some excerpts from Firstext co-choreograhed from Forsythe and Dana Casperson and Antony Rizzi , originally for the royal ballet but here is frankfurt ballet in it. the soundscape is from thom willems. a good friend of mine loved the piece. said it was like a meditation on dance.

I owe so much to watching these beautiful dancers dance back in frankfurt.. created a whole new world. And I remember sitting next to you once at the Bar in the Depot drinking tea feeling delighted :D

and we all knew we were helping people see with new eyes. that was a big part of it too.
