Making our Traces to Hair.





Traces and Hair were the excitements on this weekends trip to NYC!


Traces was an entertaining and exhilarating performance where we personally got to know seven people who were trained in circus acts. They shared personal information and showed off their talents in a show that would not easily be forgotten. I have pictures of the incredible acts that took place, live on stage. It is amazing what the human body can do. Traces is a true representation of pushing the human body to the ultimate degree, physically and emotionally.


Hair was another energized, spontaneous performance that was filled with an emotional atmosphere because it was the closing, final performance. At the end of the show, the audience flooded the stage and the actors were crying while the standing ovation and speeches were given. It was a special moment to participate in and see, one that I will remember for a long time. I still have my daisy in my dorm room that the actors passed out to us when they came into the audience!


One of my favorite parts of the day was when Dr. Shosh took us to this amazing bookstore that was 3 stories high and filled with all the books you could imagine at wonderfully low prices. I bought two books for under $20.00!!


The pictures I have are from Traces and the entire cast and audience on stage from Hair.
