I really must stop neglecting this blog. Here, I said it: this is my new resolution. I think, however, this happens because I post on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, as well, so sometimes I forget. It is no excuse, however, because in writing longer passages that are not mere impressions or soundbytes, I seem to find a rhythm of a kind and make sense of things that happened over time. March was a bit of a whirlwind. I performed my first show in Moscow on March 8th, at Oldich, which is a lovely venue. It was sold out and the audience was warm and welcoming. I can't wait to go back and also release my Russian language collection of songs, which I have also been working on. Here is a little video the venue put together: Elizaveta @ Oldich Dress & Drink from Elizaveta on Vimeo. At the moment I am a bit tired after a rehearsal, so I will fulfill my writing promise tomorrow. I am performing this Wednesday and really looking forward to it. Tomorrow I get to wake up early and keep on working… But I do have something to share with you first, and below is my Newsletter I just sent out today: greetings my darlings – this is one packed email, so please read carefully! *** I.

How is that for a blog entry title? Anyway, just a few minutes ago I got an email that my song 'Meant' will be featured on tonight's season premiere episode of So You Think You Can Dance. Wow! I will have to watch! Very excited. Over the past year I have received so many emails from people who used 'Dreamer' as their dance song – for recitals, flag routines – you name it. I do like that show a lot. Every time I have watched it I have walked away with a firm decision to take up dancing again. Er….OK, soon. Unfortunately no celebratory glass of wine for me tonight. I have been sick with strep throat. Let me tell you: don't get it. I don't know how I picked it up, but chances are it was at the elementary school where we did our first Dreamer to Hero Art & Music Workshop a week and a half ago. The workshop was done as a collaboration with my designer and art partner in crime Missy Washington of i102fly – she did the art portion of the event, while I did – guess? – the musical part of it, obviously. The kids were 8-9 years old and there were about 20 of them. Halfway through the workshop I recorded the kids singing a part for my new song HERO. Yes, the one with the choir at the end. After that, Missy led them in an arts and crafts endevour. Let me tell you: who needs high end gadgets or materials? She brought supplies from a Re-Use outlet and we made...
