Wow, what a beautiful experience! Huge congratulations to Keith A Manning, brilliant photographer and human being equally. His work was selected for Art Icon’s S*x and Politics exhibit in Paris. The photograph featured my 2023 choreography Womb Creature and Alma Dance Company cast Roberta Samet (her hand up in the photo, and standing next to herself in Paris!), Angela Fatou Gittens, Natalia Munoz, Heather Robles, Cecilia Mitchell, and Mireicy Aquino. It was a blast to be there and celebrate with Keith and Roberta at the opening in Paris, and see all of the stunning artwork in the exhibit gallery. This work feels like a returning comet with a very long tail.
