I found some much needed inspiration in Cholula, Oaxaca and Mexico City earlier this month... /
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.

Interdisciplinary project at Cornish College of the Arts. /
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.
LINES DRAWN /
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.

Cornish. /
I have thoroughly enjoyed this first month of teaching at and heading the dance program at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. Super engaging and committed students and a wonderful faculty. Cornish has an incredible history with the likes of Merce Cunningham and John Cage setting a tone of interdisciplinarity and collaboration and I am excited to see how we, as a program can lean into that legacy as we are moving the program forward this year…
