Introduction to Reflections on Dance

I have always danced. And I have written since the time I could hold a crayon. I am a choreographer, a Laban Movement Analyst, and a founder and director of a budding arts center. I am particularly passionate about the places where deep body experience intersects with observation and reflection.

As I clarify my own ways of working within dance, I am finding that I have a lot to say. I end up shaking in the middle of conversations, sometimes writing in the middle of the night to get it out. I love and believe in dance and at the same time aspects of the dance world trouble me. I have many questions.

This blog will serve as a forum for engaging these questions and passions. I will add new posts approximately once a week.

Some of my current writing interests include:

Reflections on performances
The value of all movement rather than narrowly defined “dance”
The creative process
Dancers and dance-makers as true artists and thinkers
The qualities of presence within performing, dancing, and living
Authenticity and integrity within dance
Ways of seeing based on Laban Movement Analysis
