new friends

After I took class yesterday, I was hanging out in the courtyard with a few of the dancers, just chatting. One of the girls, Ellie, and I decided to go for a coffee.....4 hours later we decided to go for dinner........4 hours later we decided it was time to go home! We talked about everything from the dance scenes in NYC and Germany, to her experience with Buddhism, to Gyrotonic, to Slovania, to Japan, to contact improv. It was exactly the kind of experience that I wanted to have while I'm here in Germany! Getting to know a complete stranger over coffee and wasting the entire day talking! Life is good!

what about Slovenia??(the closest tie to my immigrant past that i've found myself thinking a lot about recently...) i'm intensely curious!! :)

This girl that I was talking to said she went to Slovenia for a dance festival and was amazed with what was going on there. She took an amazing contact improv workshop and saw some really inspiring pieces. She was thinking that maybe Slovenia is the next "it" place for modern dance. Besides that, she said it was gorgeous. If you ever want to go.....i'm interested :)
