DAP 2011 - Day #3 - Blood, Sweat and Tears

DAP Day #3 - Sweat, Blood and Tears

Day 3 began at 8:30am, leaving the house to get the day started.  We arrived at Crea8tiv Spaces to start our day with conditioning with Grace Page, our fitness instructor.  After the workout, everybody was hurt and tired - we all need "up" our fitness regiment.

Next, JJ had his initial session with the artists, highlighting their goals and aspirations as artists.  He pushed to expose their wants and desires, in order to get them to analyze their talents and what they want to accomplish.

After lunch, we experienced choreography with dance coach Jerod Times, focusing on performance techniques and stage positioning.  At the same time, Olivia had a private session with Jazz pianist, Al Smith.

With everyone together, we attended a rehearsal with I.S. band, ATL.  They provided the students will valuable information about the work it takes to prepare for a performance.  With the assistance of Miguel Gaetan on drums and Kerry Davis on keys, Jason dazzled the student artists with his melodious skills and intensity.

Dinner at Red Lobster and then back to Crea8tiv Spaces to brainstorm and create song ideas and possible tracks.  With a bit of pushing and encouragement, they worked feverishly until we called it a night at 10:00pm. As usual, the work continues at the house, as they want to produce the best . .  Stay tuned.
