Darryl Dwayne Choreographing For Dreamgirls Production

Ok Fam so I've been away for a min and normally when I'm away for an extended amount of time I'm hard at work juggling projects.  One of the projects that I had been contracted out to work was for this production of Dreamgirls which was dope! I had an awesome time working with the cast and crew.  Everyone was beyond talented.

Choreographing for this production was truly an honor, especially since it had already been done by some of the most talented choreographers in the world of dance. I wanted to keep the original integrity of the original production which was choreographed by the great late Michael Bennet; while still adding my own creative spin to the production. I believe that I accomplished my goal and that me and the entire creative team did an awesome job in the re-adaptation of this broadway classic "Dreamgirls." Now that the show is no longer running I'm sharing with you just a taste of some of what I did for the production and behind the scenes pics from the show.  

A few members of the creative team that made it all possible.

Love By Definition: Darryl Dwayne

Today my Mom and Pops celebrate 34 years of marriage!  Their Love Story continues to inspire me.  Proving that Love is a choice for which you fight for continually and not a state of mind/being that you fall in and out of!  True Love = Work but the reward is great! Love doesn't just happen you and me make it happen! So choose Love!

Dreamland (Snowstorm On East Coast To Come)

Whats good family normally I only share with you all of my new and exciting gigs that I'm working, and or some of my deep thoughts on love and relationships but today I'm going to allow you all to know a little more about me. I have always been a dreamer and I don't mean dreamer as in visions of ambitious goals that I chase after.  I mean as in literally a dreamer like I dream stuff and it happens in real time! Now I don't believe this makes me special or anything because all people dream and more then most have very similar experiences.  Most of my family dreams dream's that are literal and then they later happen in real life, so its something I've grown up with my whole life.

The point of me telling you all this is because last year around this time in November I had this dream about a very bad winter storm that hits the East coast specifically the Southeast region! Now normally I would just tell my family about the dream and write it in my dream journal and keep it moving but I have a really bad feeling about this dream. Not sure why I feel weird about this dream but I knew I had to publicly post it, and so I'm doing just that! 

Ok, so the dream starts with me watching the weather report and the weather man is forecasting the future weather for that week.  In his forecast he speaks about this front that is supposed to blow through that could cause a little precipitation but nothing serious. He even reaffirms that the likely hood of a significant snow accumulation from this front is highly unlikely. Well, almost immediately after he says this my dream flips and I'm seeing the overview of this neighborhood like a bird from the sky.

2011's Stormy Forecast

Morning Family as Hurricane Irene continues to push away from us hear in the Southeast I begin to start tactfully formulating a plan to properly asses everything that was left in her wake.  I'm grateful that Hurricane Irene did not strike with the original anticipated strength that was initially forecasted. However, as the storm still works its way through New York I recognize that this storm was and is still a very deadly force of nature as some have lost their lives due to Hurricane Irene.

I recognize just how blessed we are here in the East and Southeast having had the prep time to prepare for the storm Irene unlike some of our US counterparts who experienced the deadly twisters that tore through the South and Midwest earlier this year.

Darryl Dwayne Behind The Scenes Of Pepsi/Lowe's Commercial Shoot

Morning Family!  As most of my consistent readers of my blog already know not only am I a wardrobe stylist I'm also a dancer and actor. And when I can, I try to take my fam...aka all of you with me on location and behind the scenes.  This behind the scenes sneak peek is on the set of the Pepsi and Lowe's commercial shoot for their "Summer Salute" campaign.  Although I don't have any speaking lines we all know the entertainment business is a hustle, and I'm more then game to take that hustle head on.
