October: Choose one class/project that you are teaching/taking on this year and give us an inside glance at what is going to go on?
Every year I put together a production Hip Hop and every year I try to be outside the box and make it even better than the year before. This year I am putting together the longest piece I have ever done and on top of that I am performing with my Hip Hop company for the first time in 8 years.
My process is a long one. I start thinking of the next year’s production before we even finish competition season of the current year. Once I know what I want to do, I then research music for a good month or two before I decide what songs and parts I want that will go along with my story line. Once I have mixed the music the way I see the story going I then break my team into group and sections and go from there. After each group has learned their section, I start piecing it together and filling in the gaps as we go along. It usually takes me a good 2-3 months to put it all together from top to bottom the way I want it to look.
We always get great reviews on our productions every year but none as awesome as the actual artist themselves seeing our performance and making it go viral. It was the highlight of my year and my career last year. So let’s see what we can make happen this year!
