In the last few months, I have been archiving my dance work. It has been a very fulfilling process, in that it gives me a perspective on my body of work over the last 18 years. It seems like such a wonderful chance to look back at patterns and expressions.I feel very fortunate to have had the time to do this. I will continue to work on the archives over the months to come.
During this time, I have revisited all the wonderful people with whom I have worked over the years: both collaborators and dancers. Patterns have been educative, inspiring and challenging.
It is with this change in perspective that I begin the work for my next piece in winter of 2010.

In Glee three dances meld into one journey, balancing the line between fragility and strength.
Architecture becomes both a playground and a hiding place; walls can be deceiving and chains don't always bind.
DANCE: Access is a self-produced series administered by Danspace Project. Constraints II is made possible, in part, with support from Asian Cultural Council and Saison Foundation. Minority is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

Sometimes we must disconnect our minds from what we know is real to connect with

is compelled to enter a realm of movement, live music and imagery to create a
vocabulary to understand her brother’s schizophrenia.

Sometimes we must disconnect our minds from what we know is real to connect with one another, leaving behind the world of logic to grasp a new unknown reality. A sister is compelled to enter a realm of movement, live music and imagery to create a vocabulary to understand her brother’s schizophrenia. Antonin Artaud and medical transcriptions become the narrators on this journey of understanding.
