"The Gift" Is Coming

Ballet
Praise In Motion presents The Gift in November (15th & 22nd). The PIM dancers have been rehearsing it for a while now. I'm lucky enough to see just a little bit of these rehearsals. It's gonna be great! I hope you make the time to see at least one of their performances this fall.
If you know of any little girls (or boys!) who might be interested in ballet, bring 'em! They can get backstage tours and meet the dancers, and they'll be blessed by the message. You, too!
If you know nothing about ballet, that's okay, too. There's only a few things you need to watch for. Most importantly, notice God's message of love and redemption. Then, enjoy the phenomenal grace and strength exhibited by highly trained dancers. Every gesture and step is deliberate. Each movement speaks, telling a part of the story, developing the plot, and sharing emotions. The laws of physics are sometimes defied. The grace and fluidity of movement are among the most beautiful things you'll ever see, and to see them performed in worship of the Almighty is breathtaking. Surely, Praise In Motion offers a taste of what's to come when we're before the throne of the King!

Awesome venue

For those of you who missed PIM at the Murray Arts Center, you missed an awesome venue! By far, this theater was designed better than most any I've seen with PIM. It was most impressive. They had all the latest and best of everything. In addition to the theater, the building also had a recording studio and a television studio. I think the building originally cost something like $35 million. All our needs were met and then some. The lighting and sound was so nice, we didn't even need to use our own (that's a first for me!). They even provided their own marley (dance flooring)! It was great working there.
I must send out a special thanks to Bradley, the head tech dude of Murray. Not only was he great to work with, he was patient with us, always going above and beyond, and even helped us load up the truck afterward. We've worked some with duds, but Bradley set a new, high standard for house tech support. Kudos!
PIM also wishes to thank Dave for his photographic work. He spent many hours on Friday (dress rehearsal) shooting many hundreds of pictures. Knowing that shooting dance is difficult (no flash, difficult lighting, lots of movement, etc.), it can be taxing on a photographic artist. Already, one of PIM's two directors has chosen several pictures, though, that are candidates for publicity shots (e.g., on the web, future postcards, etc.). And PIM owes Dave special gratitude, as he donated his time and efforts--a great gift to Praise In Motion! Thank you, Dave!
