WHAT I AM DOING NOW...
I am currently taking time to reconnect with nature. I am on an 8 week road trip driving from NYC to various destinations in Colorado, Utah, Idaho, New Mexico, Missouri and Tennessee.
As I prepare for the coming school year, I am trying to hold on to the things Covid has taught me: love more, don't be busy for busy sake, make what you want, and spend time outside. Sounds simple, but given my practices before 2020, I need to keep reminding myself.
In the fall I will be teaching Ballet, Introduction to Modern and Performance in the Americas as Dance Artist in Residence for The University of Maryland. I am also creating a new work as a Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Recipient
