I was planning on making my first post an interview of the choreographer Anna Sperber. I have the interview, but she never approved that I could put it online so I never went ahead with it. Too bad, because her answers were pretty interesting.

I attended two classes at the Movement Research Festival, one with Ann Liv Young and another with Eleanor Houlihan. I performed in one of the festival’s performances, “Populous,” curated by AUNTS (aka. Jbird/Jamm/Jean Marie Leary). More on all the MR Festival activity soon.
