Working with the dancers in Baton Rouge, my hometown, has been a real gift for me. Most of these dancers have had little or no Graham technique since it is not taught in the area. Even so, they have given there all and trusted me, a total stranger, to guide them through the process with the hope of artistic fulfillment at the end. They’re doing great!

We’ve only had four rehearsals and they have learned the complete choreography. Now, the work begins. We will delve into the technique and philosophies which imbue Graham’s dances with the power and urgency they demand. My hope is that the dancers are enjoying dancing in this different way - even more, I hope that it gives them a new point of view.
