Road Trip!


ohio, 1976, originally uploaded by Chanterelle1.



Touring was an important part of the Tomov Ensemble's mission and allure -- troupe membership was known to swell in the year leading up to a Yugoslavia trip. But domestic road trips were another way to experience the pleasure, and sometimes the pain, of performing for new audiences in different places. By bus (oh, that bus!), plane, boat -- as they say, getting there could be half the fun.

Maybe one reason that road trips are on my mind is knowing that George is embarking on the biggest journey of all, compared to which Pen Yang and Pristina are just around the corner.

What are your memories of traveling with the Troupe?

This was 1977 (or later).
FYI, Donna and I got together on a road trip to Boston in December, 1978. Almost 30 years later, we have 3 "Tomov grandchildren", 26, 21, and 18.
