I am writing from the Berkshires where we are performing at Jacob’s Pillow doing Serenade/The Proposition.  The performances at the Lincoln Center Festival were sold out every night.  The piece looked beautiful in the Rose Theater and the company, those sublime beings, were at their best.   The audience gave us a standing ovation every night, which has been the case everywhere we’ve been, but getting that approval from New Yorkers is quite special.  We worked on every aspect of it during the week of rehearsals beforehand and during our technical rehearsal onstage.  We had an extra day in the space which is an unusual luxury.  All the designers were there, sound, lights, set, costumes, video.  I am extremely proud of this work, of the multi-layered elements:  the weaving together of movement and text, music, projection, the handling of the subject matter, the metaphors and inferences, the movement and choregraphy.  There is no reason whatsoever to separate dance and theater.
