APAP weekend comes to a close and we find ourselves rejuvenated and inspired by our experience. We had a wonderful time performing our showcase. We performed our piece nine times on Saturday and four times on Sunday for wonderfully varying groups of people.
We left the performances with many APAP presenters to follow up with. We met APAP presenters from places as close as New Jersey and places are far reaching as Hong Kong. We were stunned to find we had managed to entice people from across the map to our showcase.
I think what was really rewarding for us was to be so well-received in yet another venue. We were thrilled by the responses we got from both audience members and audience numbers. I don't think we knew what to expect going into this, but we weren't expecting as much as we got and so we, once again, found ourselves extremely blessed by the continued affirmation and encouragement we found in our pursuit to move forward as a company.
It was also so important to be reminded of what a visually vibrant piece we are working with. Will, Holly's darling brother, filmed the teaser/trailer and in playing it back, we finally got to see the visual pictures we create as an ensemble. We always had an idea of what the pictures looked like, but never got to see them as a whole since we each make up an essential part of the picture. It was great to step back and see what each of us contributes to the piece visually.
We must say another huge thank you to all of our supporters. Friends, families, donors and blog-readers: we wouldn't be where we are without you and we appreciate your following us this far and seeing us even further. You're the best.
We meet tonight for an APAP de-briefing and will decide where to go next - how to take Tempest further and how to expand with new projects. Looking forward to it.
We'll be in touch!
Love,
TTL
