I returned to Richmond, Virginia last month to create a new work for the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Richmond. The work titled “ECHO” premiered a couple of weeks ago at the Modlin Center for the Arts in Richmond.
Congratulations to the cast and all of the wonderful artists involved.

This is a project that Nathan and I worked on for several months. More information at a later date.
Flashback Friday:
I thoroughly enjoyed teaching at the Copenhagen Contemporary Dance School when I was back in Copenhagen a couple of weeks ago. It is exciting to see the constant creative evolution of this institution.

As part of NOW-ID's ongoing interview series Ne Plus Ultra that shares the stories of artists and designers creating extraordinary, inspiring and impactful work, I was delighted and honoured to interview and share the thoughts of Brian Wakelin.
Brian is an architect and co-founder of design firm Public Architecture, based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

I was so impressed and inspired by these beautiful young artists and thoroughly enjoyed working with them over these past two weeks. We premiered this new work CYCLIC last Thursday and Friday at the Rose Wagner Theatre in Salt Lake City.
Thank you and congratulations to Ballet West, Ballet West Academy and Artemotionusa!

A new work - breath of ravens - that I created in collaboration with my students at Cornish College of the Arts. I have so much affection for this cast of beautiful artists and for the work we created together.

Returning to some of my favourite places in Mexico earlier this month was inspiring!
Having worked in Cholula/Puebla and in Mexico City over several years and having developed close friendships and collaborations with local artists, makes going back to all three places incredibly meaningful.
Thank you to our wonderful friends Carlos Arias and Rip Parker for hosting us so beautifully in Cholula.
Thank you to all who came to our production JCBC in downtown Salt Lake City on December 29th, 2023. Thank you also to our incredible team of artists, collaborators, board members and volunteers.

If you are in Seattle go check it out!
For their finals last semester the brilliant students in my composition class at Cornish did a collaborative project with students in the Art Department and additionally they worked with the technology company Future Arts in Seattle. Some truly inspired work was created by all.
A new work that premiered this last weekend at Cornish Playhouse in downtown Seattle.
The work was choreographed in collaboration with my students at Cornish College of the Arts.
Lines Drawn was conceived as if a ritual for an imagined community to move through daily, to repeatedly define their world over and over as if movement created the world, and vice versa.
Congratulations to the Department of Dance at the University of Richmond for their successful performances this past weekend. They premiered a work of mine “Arrival” and the dancers as well as the production team did a beautiful job.
Thank you to all of our extraordinary collaborators (Alex Barsky, Jesper Egelund, Tara McArthur, Brian Nelson, Jack Chipman, Kevin Kiju Kimi, Jan Andrews, Dena Eaton and more…) and to all who came out during the blizzard on December 22nd at Left of Main in Vancouver’s historic Chinatown!
