I am really excited about teaching this workshop. For one thing, I love the Boston Dance community. I have deep, old roots in Boston, and every time I go back there, I am reminded of how much that city and those dancers and audiences have given me, and how much of myself I poured into the community.
This workshop is a chance for me to play with some of the brightest dancers and choreographers around and to bring some of the things that excite me about dance and dance-making home. I have spent my evenings up here in New Hampshire brainstorming, and I have a delicious couple of afternoons planned.
One of my great inspirations was the brilliant Bessie Schonberg, and I still have notes from the workshops and residencies that I did with her as mentor. Another is the great Robert Dunn, and I have those notes too. Both of them took me out into the deepest creative waters and let me find my own strokes, my own way of diving and floating. I thank them all the time.
So dancers, choreographers, directors, improvisers, join me in Cambridge!
