I just performed my Death of Adonis routine in my class, and it was certainly better than the version online. Maybe I'll update it. We'll see. I took my shirt off in front of the class, and when I started dancing, I just let myself go into the performance. It felt really good, and it was the first time I had done that. I left behind the potential judgments and just danced what I felt this dying youth must have felt.
I also realized that that performance was the culmination of this first stage of being in Portland. I've been working hard, probably too hard, and the summer will be a time of rest for me. But to see what I've been working on is to watch that video. I am proud of it, though still wishing I had a better version up.
