Another Wonderful Season! 12/22/2011
We had a remarkable season of Christmas Reflections! i still can hardly believe that we had almost 100 performers on the Robsham stage this year! There's a picture of the Twelve Days of Christmas on the site that gives you a sense of the numbers. (There were an additional 30 Irish Step dancers!) I'm including a link to photos and we hope to have some video available in the near future. Blessings for Christmas! http://gallery.me.com/robertvereecke/100106 Add Comment Father Bob talks about the origin and growth of Christmas Reflections, from a small production meant to "continue the tradition [of a Dancer's Christmas] in a simpler way" through the incorporation of two additional dance companies resulting in this year's production showcasing a cast with more than twice as many performers.

I haven't had a chance to write since we began the rehearsal process two weeks ago. I was away on retreat this past weekend so I'm looking forward to seeing how things are going. We are fortunate to have some of our regulars back again this year. Jon Arpino will be dancing the role of Joseph. Luisa Donovan who began dancing with the company when she was 8 years old will be dancing the role of Mary. It is so lovely to see what a beautiful dancer Luisa has become and how much faith and love she brings to this part. Again we have a wonderful cast of Angels, Shepherds and a whole host of children, teens, and BC students and alumni. Will try to Post Title. 09/28/2011
This past Saturday we began the auditioning process for Christmas Reflections. We have a very large cast this year, especially with the addition of dancers from Joanna Duncan's studio. I was delighted to see so many lovely new dancers who want to be a part of the show this year. By the way, tickets for Christmas Reflections go on sale beginning October 3rd through the Robsham Theater Box office. They now have online ticketing www.bc.edu/offices/robsham/tickets.html.

This past summer we had wonderful two week workshop at BC. In the mornings we worked on some choreography for Paul Melley's new works. We're hoping to do some more throughout the year. The afternoon session brought together folks who just love to dance. We worked on Michael Joncas' Come to the Feast for the closing liturgy of the STM summer program. Joncas happened to be there himself and sang the piece. It was a wonderful preparation of gifts and can be viewed on the website. Soon we'll be gearing up for auditions and rehearsals of Christmas Reflections. More to come BLDE NEWS 08/16/2011
