This month’s film set took me to a lighthouse in the middle of the Hudson River, off the coast of bustling Hudson, NY. Opera felt foreign, but capturing movement did not. Working with a former student as the choreographer brought so many feelings of validation. What a gift.

I also participated as film director in bringing a 31 year old Choreographer’s Showcase to life in a new way. That project was energetically draining for so many reasons, which have taken significant time in unravelling - time I’m privileged to have.

This is also the season for back-to-school, which doesn’t quite feel the same with COVID-19. I’m re-working the studio spaces, I’m redesigning curriculum, and I’m having to rethink what and why I teach what and how I do. What a beautiful opportunity to uplift and upgrade.
