May news

May 8th, 2009

Exquisite Corpse Dance Theater had its debut on May 2 at Rakkasah’s Spring Caravan! Our ghostly neo-Victorian Raqs Assaya to the music of Michael Nyman and Maduro was well received. Though our trip to NJ was short (too short!), we enjoyed being able to meet some new friends, and we were glad to see old friends, too.
