HC: How long have you been rehearsing for this production?

PB: I got involved a little late, so I have been working on it for about 3 weeks. However, they have planning for over a month.

HC: What do you hope people get out of this performance?

PB: I hope that people come away with a creative appreciation for the various styles of dance that exist. There are so many within this show, and that is just from Asia and it is just such a small sample. There is so much more to be experienced.

HC: What is something that you wish people knew about performing?

PB: You cannot possibly appreciate how much work goes into the production of it, and the performance is only the end value. It is like a math problem and all you see is the end of the line, but there is much more work and time behind it. Also in this production there are lines to memorize, not just dancing, which also takes a lot of work.

HC: What was your favorite dance?

PB: My favorite dance, even though I am not in it, is the Bollywood contemporary

HC: What is your absolute favorite thing about Bonas?

PB: Buffalo Chicken Wraps from the RC
