Testing, 5678

I've moved in, I've Googled, and I've found LA's dance scene to be as sprawling as its neighborhoods. But as an exercise in citizenship, I've decided to take it all in, think about it, and write accordingly.

The first brew on tap is this weekend's "HATCHED," a set of new works organized by Alice MacDonald and what seem to be a lot of Loyola Marymount University graduates. The Facebook event is linked, but in case you've managed to avoid that Internet monster, here's the info from it:

----
Don’t miss the opportunity to join us at, Hatched: An evening of brand new dances, an inspirational summer performance!

Alice MacDonald presents Hatched: An evening of brand new dances. MacDonald brings together a diverse group of emerging choreographers, performers and artists to create evening presenting 5 new dance works. Hatched introduces an imaginative and diverse group of choreographers, Alice MacDonald, Stephanie Jamieson, Diana Delcambre and Evan Hart Marsh, exploring unique subject matter ranging from varying perspectives of the feminine psyche to a humorous twist on the presentation of character and a solo exploration of internal forces manifest as movement. In addition, live dance is incorporated with film in a work that explores the human relationship with nature. Hatched also features live music performance in dance by Marc Agostini and Mike Gallegos of The Eternal Return.

June 5th and 6th at 8pm, 2009.
