Morning in the Woods



Summer has been dance-filled and joyous, with kids making movement in trees, Aurora learning the walk, and some sweet lady-folk and myself making modern dance. Claire, Ally, and I have been improvising and choreographing together, gently bringing to life an intimate duet that I'm posting the beginnings of right here. We've been sharing and making memories, finding voice in our bodies, writing, reading, playing, and building with the intention of making work to share while feeding our artistic hunger for meaning and movement. Jon will be bringing some sound into the mix soon, so stay updated for more dance and music.

We made this mini-video in Ally's backyard where her family has built a small platform for moving, camping, and gathering. It was good for the heart to be moving outside in late July in Vermont, embracing summer fully. I'm excited about the space as a performance location and have been sitting with many dreams of presenting more dance outside. Perhaps a fall dance exhibition? Happy summer dancing...
