However, though the overlap brief, it was pretty monumental to attend Emerson as soon as I was diving into the performance aspect of the choreopoem. And so, I was able to book some of the rehearsal spaces nearly every day for a few hours at a time. \u00a0It allowed me the solitude, the time, the space to really get into the meat, and<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> duende<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of my performance.
