I love being in a dance studio. Just being there. Absorbing the energies of thinking bodies and moving minds that have left their marks on the floors and their scrawled notes and drawings strewn around. You can feel the dance in the air.
I'm in the studio with dancers now working again on "in a delicate way...", trying to delve further into the subject matter and deepen the material. And all the work we are going to be doing with it has been driven by conversation. I'm un-endingly grateful for everyone who's participated.
Engaging my dancers in the choreographic process is one of the driving principles of my work, and the idea of inclusivity is something that for change dance collective is all about for me. I also think that dance audiences have much to offer that is never mined by artists. Whenever it's possible, I want to give viewers of my work a chance to participate in it's evolution.
So, getting to my point (I know...FINALLY, right?), I'd like to invite you all to keep December 11th free on your calendar. I'll be showing some work at 2nd Sundays at counterPULSE in SF, which is a free salon where artists informally show work and solicit feedback from audience members. If you're curious you can check out the link here: http://counterpulse.org/programs/second-sundays/ or look under the "PERFORMANCES" tab.
I'm also in conversations with a composer friend of mine to possibly start working on a collaboration, which will be TOTALLY RAD because I've always wanted to do that. Wish there was more time in a weekend and more money in my bank account for all these projects!
