Det ar bla himmel och stralande sol ute. Vaaaaaldigt kallt dock, men salange det inte snoar ar det ok. Med fyra lager klader kan man ta sig ut 🙂
Jag har bloggat i snart 10 ar och under de senaste aren har jag tankt pa bloggen var enda dag och hela tiden. Det har varit skont att ta ett litet break den senaste veckan. Men, saklart har jag tankt pa er och pa bloggen, jag kan inte koppla av det helt 🙂
Har ovan ar nagra bilder fran veckan som har gatt. Jag har kramats med lille Levy, promenerat ute i plusgrader (yay!!), fikat, njutit av NYC, atit gott och lilla valpen har fatt sig en ny frisyr. 

Hi guys! How are you? I’m feeling great! It’s blue sky and sunny outside. Veeeeery cold though, but as long as it’s not snowing its ok. With four layers of clothes, you can go outside 🙂
I have been blogging for almost 10 years and for the past years I have been thinking about the blog every single day and all the time. Its been nice to take a break this past week. But, of course I’ve been thinking of you and the blog, I can’t totally disconnect from it 🙂
Here above are some pictures form the past week. I have been snuggling with little Levy, walked outside in warmer degrees (yay!!), “fikat”, enjoyed NYC, ate nice food and the little puppy got a new haircut. 

 

 

Studio time

studio_01studio_02

Igar var det Super Bowl har i USA. Tydligen var det en valdigt jamn match vilken gjorde det kul. Jag befann mig dock i studion under halva matchen. Nar jag kom hem sag jag slutet pa Katy Perry’s performance och min man stod i koket och gjorde middag (vilken lyx 🙂 ). Resten av matchen kollade jag igenom det jag filmade pa min tid i studion.
Nar jag skulle till studion (Gibney 280, gamla DNA) kandes det nastan som att jag skulle pa en het dejt. En dejt med studion. Tva timmar i en stor studio dar bara jag kunde bestamma vad jag skulle gora och fa ut av tiden dar. Det ar alltid lite laskigt att boka en studio, oavsett om man bokar for enbart sig sjalv eller tillsammans med andra dansare. Som nar man satter sig ner med ett blankt papper och en penna for att rita nagot. Man har en ide, men kommer det bli som man har tankt sig? Jag hade en plan men efter forsta timmen av den inplanerade improvisationen med vissa riktlinjer kande jag att det sista jag hade planerat inte passade in, sa jag fortsatte med improvsation med lite andrat fokus. Jag avslutade med en helt annan typ av tema som jag garna jobbar med och alskar att utforska enbart for att det utmanar mig men aven kanns bekant. Jag filmar alltid allt jag jobbar med. Om det ar improvisation kan jag senare se och skriva ner det man gillar och om man jobbar med en koreografifras ar det bra att kunna se vilka andringar man gor sa att man senare kan skriva ner det hemma och inte behover ta tid till skrivandet i studion (jag skriver alltid ner allt jag skapar). 

Yesterday was Super Bowl here in USA. Apparently it was a very close game which made it fun. I was in a studio during half the game though. When I came home I saw the end of Katy Perry’s performance and my husband was in the kitchen making dinner (luxury 🙂 ). The rest of the game, I looked through what I had filmed on my time in the studio. 
When I was going to the studio (Gibney 280, old DNA) it almost felt like that I was going on a hot date. A date with the studio. Two hours in a huge studio where only I could decide what I should do and get from the time there. It’s always a bit scary to book a studio, regardless if you book for only yourself or together with other dancers. Like when you sit down with a blank paper and a pencil to draw something. You have an idea, but will it be like you thought? I had a plan but after the first hour of the planned improvisation with some guidelines, I felt that the last thing I had planned didn’t fit in, so I continued with improvisation with a little changed focus. I finished with a totally different theme that I like to work with and love to explore because it challenge me but also feels familiar. I always film everything I work on. If its improvisation you can later see and write down what you like and if you’re working on a choreography phrase its good to be able to see what changes you do so that you later can write it at home and don’t have to take time for the writing in the studio (I always write down everything I create). 

The so called snow storm is over

Idag ar det sol och bla himmel. Har i NY har inte snostormen varit sa farlig som de sa pa nyheterna att det skulle bli. 15-20 cm sno ar inte mycket att oroa sig over (men, jag ar ju ocksa svensk och van vid det, hihi). De har de fatt mycket mer uppe  i Massachusetts. Barnen i omradet har lekt for fullt har utanfor. Thor tyckte att det var roligt tidigt igar, men pa kvallen behovde jag dra honom ut. Idag tror jag att han borjar bli sjuk. Han ville inte vara ute alls, han ater inte och han ar bara ihopkurad i sin sang. Forhoppningsvis bara en forkylning.

Today is sunny with blue sky. It wasn’t so bad here in NY with the snowstorm like they said on the news that it should be. 15-20 cm snow is not much to worry about (but, I’m also Swedish, and used to it, hihi). They had got a lot more up in Massachusetts. The kids in the neighborhood played like crazy here outside. Thor thought it was fun early yesterday, but at night I had to drag him out. Today I think he’s getting sick. He didn’t want to be outside at all, he doesn’t eat and he’s just curled up in his bed. Hopefully only a cold.

Subway ar avstangda och trafiken var avstangd under natten. Det ar tyst och bara nagra som skottar sno som ar ute. Den varsta snon skulle komma under natten, men nar vi gick ut innan var det inte sa fraligt, sag typ ut som det gjorde igar. Men, nu snoar det riktigt mycket sa vi far se hur det kommer att se ut senare.

Subway is closed and the traffic was shut down during the night. It’s quiet and only few that is shuffling snow outside. The worst snow was supposed to come during the night, but when we went out earlier it wasn’t that bad, looked kinda like it did yesdterday. But, now it’s snowing a lot so we’ll see how the day turns out later.

Jag tog med mig kameran och akte upp till Times Square. Om tva dagar slapps nya World of Warcraft och de promotar nu det pa TS. Jim sag en bild pa det imorse och jag blev sa nyfiken att jag akte dit. Inte for att jag ar ett stort WOW fan, har bara spelat det nagra ganger, men jag tycker anda att karaktarerna och varldarna ar coola. 

I took my camera with me and went up to Times Square. In two day the new World of Warcraft releases and they are now promoting it on TS. Jim saw a picture of it this morning and I got so curious that I went there. Not because I’m a big WOW fan, have only played it a few times, but I think the characters and the worlds are cool.
