First Things First
See dance as if for the first time.
Overview
In Footloose, Kevin Bacon danced to overcome his anger. In Hot Rod, Andy Samberg did as well. In First Things First, performer and choreographer Joseph Simons dances for a different reason. He's remembering the first time he did certain things, such as going to school, riding a bike and kissing somebody.
Actually, he's also exploring the idea of getting used to all of those things — the moment in time when something new and exciting becomes something that you've done before. And, while he's unleashing his blend of virtuosic dance and physical theatre at this year's MELT Festival, he's giving audiences their own initial encounter. That'd be the first time they see his astounding performance.
