Inspired by the memorial gathering for Julie Kane last night at Shawl-Anderson Dance Center, we're feeling even more gratitude for the many gifts we received by collaborating with Julie. Here's excerpts of duets she co-created with Debby Kajiyama and David Ryther as part of our "Drop" project.

Thank you Julie!

We at Dandelion Dancetheater are thinking with love about Dance/Art/Spirit Warrior Julie Kane, who crossed over to the other side recently and suddenly.

Julie worked with Dandelion at a critical time in our artistic evolution and was a powerful guide, teacher, collaborator, friend, and fellow traveler.

We are so grateful to you Julie for all your gifts of creativity and Spirit and joyful irreverence. May we continue to dance together in the mysterious twists and turns of this juicy and strange life journey.

Here are some images from our collaborations with Julie.
