Today was the Juilliard Performance and we all had to be at Juilliard by 330pm in order to all be accepted through security and to get through the maze of the Building.
I didn't photograph the performance however I did snap some images before and after.
Dance Division.. yippee!

Another Townsvillian (John Maguire) who travelled all the way to NY to support Dance North.
Jess, feeling better and excited to be out of her hotel room for the first time in 7 days.
The performance was unbelievable, better than yesterday and the students were interested in the whole creative process, inclusive of where Townsville was, how the work was created, where the music came from (created by Micah in Barcelona specifically for Dance North).
The performance was well received and I found it interesting sitting amongst the students, listening to them babble on and roll out the history of Bradley Chatfield and Raewyn Hill.. wow they really are superstars and not just in Australia. The godfather of dance and director of Juilliard was also in attendance, another huge feat for the Company.
I spent the morning with Kailah finally doing our NY thing, wandering the streets of Manhattan soaking up the vibe. I love this city, I love being back in a place with an underground, attitude and abnormal smells.. it's crazy, I didn't think I would feel so at home and comfortable as I do right now.
I also went to the apple store. We all know I love apple / mac but I was also interested as my dearest cousin JBK constructed the one in Sydney and is shortly making a trip to San Francisco to check out another store. The glass in this building is amazing. outside looking in
the glass ceiling (the apple geeks are the ones in blue).
Inside the store looking out.
Things I love about the apple store: free internet and wifi. super chargers. super helpful geeky staff. its always packed. you don't have to buy, you can just drool.
Things I dont... nothing.. zero.. nada. I named my dog mac for pete's sake.
