Life is movement, and dancing is a direct pathway to aliveness.  I can walk my thoughts, spin my ideals, leap my loves, and balance my intentions.  In dancing I exercise my ability to respond—responsibility—continually alternating between practices of attention and intention.  I attend to my own being, those of others, and the world within which we exist.  I attend to the patterns that reveal themselves internally and externally, microcosmically and macrocosmically.  I attend to my own responses, grateful that there are constant surprises, and some trusted landmarks, in my identity.  I intend, and my agency is asserted as I participate in my own patterning, and that of my world. 

Artist Statement

I imagine, and my intentions act as a magnet for my hopes, attempting to draw them into reality.  I hope that we recognize a global community.  I hope that we recognize body and earth as our home.  I hope that we experience compassion, ease, and perhaps even happiness.  I hope that awareness is worthwhile.  I hope to integrate knowledge, building interrelationship.  I hope that sharing my path, as an artist and educator, brings aliveness.
