Opera House Via Ferrata
February 4th, 2012
A Via ferrata is a mountain route fixed with cables,allowing a person access to amazing places that would otherwise be unsafe. Yesterday, Thomas and I were allowed access to a "via ferrata" on the roof of the San Francisco Opera House. We climbed up several ladders, some quite tall getting all the way on top of the fly loft to check the rigging potential. Looking out over the city and the gilded roof of city hall sparkling in the unseasonably bright sun, we both acknowledged that we have a wonderful job. Stay tuned to see if this potential plays out in the form of site-reactive performance in the next few months!
Nice Piece on Move TV

I have for years done my best to practice mindfulness, often poorly. By following the Tich Nhat Hanh inspired busy-life method of taking deep breaths at red lights and when the phone rings-I try to remind myself to stop thinking ahead. Looks like I was inspired by this kind of thinking when I was interviewed by Move TV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkL4DYtVDUU
New Year New Ideas
January 4th, 2012
Though the economy still is dragging its toes, head droopy, there are some exciting things on the horizon for all of us. We are preparing for an exciting performance as part of the Kennedy Center's first ever street theater festival in May, teaching lots of classes (sign up now!) and thinking about creative ways to bring dance to the people. If you have ever wanted to work with me or Rachael, you can audition at ODC this Sundayy! We both were awarded Sandbox grants which allow us play time with up to six paid dancers of our choosing (who we have never worked with). How fun!

Nice piece on the home page of AOL/Huffington's "You've Got", a segment that highlights people, stories and at times performing arts groups! Most of the footage is from our performance last year in India. I was interviewed in our home studio in Oakland. Go to aol.com and click on the link. There is still room in our December workshop, so go to our teaching page and sign up now! Remember, your end of year donations can be made by clicking the donate button on our home page. Now more than ever we need your support so we can keep on performing for free to the public in Oakland and nation-wide!
Teaching and Brainstorming
November 22nd, 2011
Ongoing weekly classes are in full swing in the studio in Oakland. We plan to do more in the new year, so check the site and sign up early as they often sell out. We are also brainstorming about reaching out to the elite surfing community to offer cross training-stay tuned. If you have a small group of athletes/youth/disabled movers looking for inspiration off the ground, send us a line. we want to share!
