Good Morning Joey,
I have had 3 different customers suggest that I email you regarding my newly opened business on Washington Street.
I have had an Antique/Collectibles Multi-Dealer shop in Ipswich for 5 years, and just this month (May), moved it to 57 Washington Street here in Gloucester. I have changed the name from Rose Cottage, TO…
JUNQUE & DISORDERLY.
I’m very happy with my new space and I’m even happier to be in Gloucester. I moved from Wakefield to Gloucester exactly 2 years ago, so it’s a pleasure to have my business so close to home now.
I would love to get the word out that my business "exists" in Gloucester.
Best Regards, Cheryl Conly JUNQUE & DISORDERLY
Sarah Slifer Dance Happenings Summer 2012

Hello friends of dance,
I’ve got a bunch of dance happenings this summer, and they seem to be tidily thematic around dance heritage. It’s as if I planned my year before hand, but in fact it’s because ideas are sticky. From preparing to teach dance history last semester, to drafting ideas for a residency investigating the role of legacy in the creation of new work, to making a new piece that honors my deep dance roots in ballet, 2012 has been a year of looking back, and forging ahead.
The new piece is a duet for myself and Olivia Powell, recent Tisch graduate and new member of Atlanta Ballet. Serenade, yes, to Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings (first movement), is a giving-in to the beauty and power of the music, the memory of the Balanchine choreography that I watched on videotape 1,000 times when I was growing up, and the depth and transformation of the ballet vocabulary in my choreographic work. The piece is romantic without the schlock, and packs surprises within the classical underpinnings. We hope to also present the piece with live music from two pianists – stay tuned for details!
AND this Saturday I will be performing in some dances by Ina Hahn, a former dancer with Doris Humphrey among other big names in American Modern Dance, in program of her work at the Cape Ann Museum. Watch me steal fire from the God as Prometheus, and play basketball. Not at the same time, of course.
Hope to see you at a performance or two!
-Sarah
