confusion break bone

"Sufferhead must go. Jeffahead must come."
- Fela Kuti

In rehearsal, our associate choreographer is most often the spiritual center for the company, and, as associate director, I most often keep a passionate distance - questioning and considering the choices we make.

This afternoon, with the associate choreographer gone, I became acutely aware of how distanced I had become in my relationship to the creative team. I found myself in a unique position to be a generating artist, critical outside eye and engaged nurturing force.

I hope to make room for more of this spiritual vulnerability as rehearsals continue.

The goal is to live in a world where one doesn't have to compromise her spirit.

So, maybe the goal is to live in a world where we are constantly aware that we are pursuing our desires within a community, with an honest and acute respect for other's pursuits.
