So once again I arrive home unsatisfied and depressed from another long and torturous day in the New York Dance Theater. After accepting the invitation more than four years ago to participate in Dance theater, I can no longer withstand this moderate feeling I get after each performance and rehearsal. Something about the techniques of Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey, and José Limón just doesn't quite sit right with me. With no disrespect to these extraordinary artists, to me it feels foreign and strange. I need to speak up and break free.
I was considering the possibility of starting my own unique line of work. What's the benefit of constantly "butting heads" with the directors? I'm quite aware of the success rate of building a name from scratch; slim to none. I have this nagging feeling that staying put won't do, and I think its worth the risk.
Sometime in the near future, I will hand in my letter of resignation and begin this undoubtedly crazy idea I call a dream. So hopefully one day you'll see my name on the top of a billboard. Anywhere but the list of businesses closing will be above and beyond my expectations. I know its time and I'm ready to take this risk.
Wish me luck,
Alvin
Hello Alvin Ailey I am very sorry about how you feel right now. I hope you feel better soon. I hope you can still perform without feeling and uncomfortablity. I have seen many performances of yours before and you do such an amazing job on theater.
ReplyDeleteI think you should deffinetly send in the letter as soon as possible,if they do accept it you are in such good shape. And do not worry if they don't, at least you know that you have nothing to worry about but improving your social and communication skill.
