Spring Flings into Summer

May and June have flown by and were full of nice weather in New York surprisingly enough. Except for one ridiculous week of heavy rain which only subsided long enough for me to have a lovely birthday picnic on May 20th.

Skies were clear at the Highline Park in Chelsea, NYC on May 25th and 26th as I performed with the fantastic Erica Essner Performance Co-Op in an outdoor site specific show. It was a whole lot of fun and I even got a little tan.

The first week of June I participated in the Tiffany Mills Summer Workshop and performed with the participants on June 4th at White Wave John Ryan Theater in DUMBO Brooklyn. A pizza party reception by the East river was an added bonus post show. It was a fun week.

June 27th - July 3rd I had the great honor to perform for the first (hopefully not last) time at Jacob's Pillow with the indomitable Jane Comfort and Company. We premiered a new work entitled Beauty and remounted her Bessie award winning piece Underground River. It was magical to be performing with such inspiring people in such and inspiring place. You can read some of the reviews and photos of the show at these links:

So far it's been a grand summer and one thing I know for sure is that I love spending it dancing and I love spending it ourside.
