WHAT I AM DOING NOW...
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 two Ballet courses, and Performance in the Americas course as Dance Artist in Residence for The University of Maryland. I am creating a new work as a Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Recipient.
