2023- moving out of the pandemic

It is September 2023….it was not until June that I was able to re-connect to my Asian presenters and Friends! in person. .Joy Joy!For 3 years we had been on Zoom together every June and, although NOT as fabulous and heart moving as in person, it kept us connected- as we had already had four years together in person.

Nothing short of fabulous, with an added adventure to Weiwuying, in the south of Taipai where the new Opera House is…A week working with interested, new, curious and questioning Movement teachers, as part of a THREE past program Summer Camp.

I also taught an in person workshop summer MELT with Movement Research, and my Klein Technique/movement class continues, now about two years, in Person. For the most part I am teaching on Zoom, and traveling when available, and practicing ZeroBalancing in person.

The picture above, and those below, are from outdoor Queens Performances as part of their 10th Anniversary!!! Summer Festival of dance from around the world, of which I am proud to have been a part of for seven or eight years.!

Our Finale weekend is coming up, the weekend of September 15 at Queens Theater, Flushing Meadow Park.!!! Join US!

Other news includes a repeat performance of this particular solo at Green Space September 24. It is entitled “Be twEen the Two planEs”, music by Anton Weber, a piano solo from 1927 and costume by Cathy Hazaletine.

For immediate Autumn, I am zooming, dancing, teaching…and zero balancing.

Thinking, with still a huge amount of sadness, the day of 09/11/2001

It is followed closely this year by the Jewish New Years – time and space for thinking, feeling, forgiving grieving, loving, and looking towards the new.
