Some of you may remember Ashley Chandler's recent interview with Amy Marshall. Others might recall that she assisted Nicole on the development of Fidelius. You may have witnessed her professional debut when she sprung out from the evergreens around the Cambridgeside Galleria sporting a futuristic hoop skirt during the first Boom Town Festival with Monkeyhouse in 2008. A few of you could have met her during her internship with Monkeyhouse in 2006. Is it obvious yet, why we adore her?
My first memory of Ashley is from a Jazz class at Impulse Dance Center in Natick, MA when she was a feisty 10 year old student. Much to her chagrin, a dozen years later I continue to associate her with the da dum da dum da dum rhythm of the Pink Panther. Even then, one could sense that she possessed the audacious spirit required to pursue a career in dance.
Although she only graduated from Adelphi a few months ago, she is already performing in New York. You have no idea how much I wish I could swoop down to the Long Island Fringe Festival tonight to soak up her performance with Circle of Dance. So if you are in the area, please go in my stead and make sure to applaud extra loud. And, Ashley I am so proud of you.
