SKETCH: Rewind | Starting Over at the End (again)
As I rewatched this piece, I was surprised by how fresh it remains in my mind and body. Some dances fade a bit from memory, but this one holds on. (…)I can still feel the sensations of this dance in my body, not only of the particular steps I danced, but also the bits and pieces I helped create, transfer, and reinhabit in my colleagues. This process of mutual transference and multiply-layered collaboration was new to me, rousing both discomfort and wonder, and at the time inspired me to write the piece that appears below. It’s a pleasure now to revisit both the joy of this dance and my reflections on its creation.
Lessons learned from my first year as Artistic Fellow
It’s official - I’ve completed my first year as Imagery’s Artistic Fellow. This year has been one of the most rewarding, albeit challenging, years of my professional life, and with so much to digest it’s hard to put these thoughts on paper. The Fellowship is focused on three main components - arts administration, artistic leadership, and choreographic development - and I can proudly say that in all three aspects I’ve learned a lot already.
