In New York City for July

I drove-up to New York City at 6:01 this morning. It was a piece of cake - no traffic and beautiful weather.

I'll probably be here through much of July. I'm also going to take some excursions to see family and dance festivals/programs in upstate NY and Massachusetts.

I plan to see performances, meet dancers/choreographers and probably do some video interviews while I'm here in NY. If you have thoughts or suggestions or would like to get together, please email me.

I'll be blogging a bit less than normal over the coming week.

But I will write an overview of the incredible week I just had taking the Crafting Dances program at Liz Lerman Dance Exchange. I say this without exaggeration: This week was a revelation for me in terms of learning about dance, experimenting with movement, creating a dance piece and thinking about how I want to move ahead with my dancing. The Dance Exchangers who ran the program - Liz Lerman, Peter DiMuro, Elizabeth Johnson and Martha Wittman - and all of the participants in the program were wonderful and I learned a tremendous amount from everybody.
