took a deep breath

and watched the video of the La Pena show on Dec. 2nd (the first work-in-progress showing of Migritude). Seeing myself on video is always excruciating - hearing myself on tape is only marginally better. But it wasn't as awful as I'd imagined. Watching it was like reading a first or second draft of a piece-in-progress. I could see how much I need to learn, and what needs to be changed, tightened, re-worked. But I could also feel the energy of it, and there was a lot that was worth keeping. The bones of something with the potential to be really good.
