This Spring I find things stirring again and have gladly accepted
work with my wonderfully loyal ex-Company dancers.
In January I was in Athens with Nancy Nerantzi for the final week of a rep project (Overdrive and Gypsy Mixture) at the Athens Conservatoire. I loved being back in Athens and the students (and Nancy!) were terrific.

Almost immediately after that Elly Braund and I began putting together a shorter version of Gypsy Mixture for Encore Dance Company at Arts Educational in Tring. They really brought new life to the piece and I am thrilled. It will be performed at the Shaw Theatre 13th May.

In March Elly, Hannah Kidd and Pierre Tappon ran a 2 week rep project at London Contemporary Dance School. They did a great job and the response was positively heartwarming.

Two weekends ago I was at the Rambert School helping Hannah with the pre-vocational students, working on Gypsy Mixture and Roughcut. I get real excitement from revisiting dances with young and talented people to whom I have to be really clear in a short time. I think I do that better now than I used to.

This coming week I begin Zoom sessions coaching 2 dancers with the Diabolo Ballet in California- one of them, Michael Wells I worked with in New York and now he is retiring from the Diabolo Company and asked if he could perform an excerpt from Such Longing for his final performance- I of course said yes...

I'm busy, and I'm happy.
