The acrobat is lost in a web of muscles the dancer is all but invisible in projected idea.Collection: Dance

But writing – writing wonderfully – takes just as much dedication.Collection: Dance

Artistic technique must be fully integrated into the cells of our bodies if we are to use it to express what is in our hearts, and this takes many years of practice.Collection: Dance
