In this rehearsal, we make our duet into an ever-changing trio and then dive into the daunting task of finally setting the very beginning of our dance…. and make sure to stay tuned for some bloopers thrown it at the very end as well!
Wow. That’s the highest amount of people I’ve ever reached on each #facebook #page! 😮 #spreadtheword #matychak #breakingglass #dance #emerging #female #choreographers #project #symphonyspace #thaliatheater
In this rehearsal, we create a duet based on several either/or questions. Coffee or tea? North or south? Backstreet Boys or NSYNC? It will change further when we add a third dancer to create an flip-flopping trio at our next rehearsal!

Hi everyone!
I am so excited to finally be able to announce my collaborative project with Ellenore Scott of ELSCO Dance! Breaking Glass: The Emerging Female Choreographers Project.
Breaking Glass was founded by Ellenore and I to provide a comprehensive multi-part platform for emerging female choreographers between the ages of 18 and 30 of all dance genres. The project is based on the concept of nurturing, supporting and cultivating the up and coming generation of female artists and providing something more supportive than a single performance opportunity.
Part of our project is to have a panel of established working female choreographers select the applicants that will receive the benefits of the Breaking Glass Project. The selected applicants will receive one-on-one meetings with expert arts consultants to help them identify strengths and weaknesses in their marketing, branding, social media and administrative practices, as well as a showcase of their work at Symphony Space’s Thalia Theater on Saturday, August 10, 2013.
The lovely Alex Megan Schell and I came up with a sweet little addendum to our first original phrase. Music by our friends The Nepotist (www.thenepotist.com) - Chris Frank, Hayden Frank & Dana Billings. If you’re around, come see Alex and Dani perform with them at Rockwood Music Hall Monday night at 11pm :)
To ring in the new year - here’s our coolest video yet - Titi, Alex and Hillary show you snippets of their newly created solos ranging on topics from lavender to vegetarianism to stupid boys… Enjoy!
Alex, Hillary and I added onto the original phrase we made last week, which was informed by what I believe will be the overall theme of the piece…. the song choice kinda gives it away ;-)
