Here’s the intro to “Write Your Name”…
a poem I wrote for my wonderful high school students, back in 2017.
Find yourself in your art.
This SATURDAY ! ✨
I’ll be performing a solo rendition of @cherish.dance ‘s new piece, “Higher Ground.”So happy to support this lovely artist and her dancers.

Here's a little poem/thought flow that I wrote yesterday, after seeing their work...

"Vulnerability is not winning or losing. It's having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome." ~Brené Brown

April showers bring May flowers, but what's stopping you form growing now ??
Often, if we can identify the things that aren't working well for us, it's so much easier to remember the things that help us flourish.
Ah yes, that self-care routine. That workout soundtrack. Oh hey, what's my awesome friend up to, that I haven't talked to in eons.
So this is our April Prompt :
Figure out what helps you grow and capture it through any medium you enjoy--photography, doodle, dance, song, etc.
And don't forget to tag us when you share your #canicolornowmoment. We'd love to hear from you and help fill the world with more art.

At Cherish Dance, we often leave time to doodle and chat at the end of rehearsal.
It's a special time when we get to relax, cool down, and share a little bit about what's going on with our week.
It's a simple few minutes, when I've gotten to know my dancers in a way I wouldn't have otherwise.
I'm thankful for their trust and laughter and for the chance to be both silly and serious with them.
(Fun fact: This doodle was started way back in February of 2021. Since the goal isn't really about finishing, but exploring, I'm glad this one took the long way.)

"Schoom !"
Felt so good to paint this and I actually have a few in-process photos for you...
What colors do YOU like to mix together ??
We premiered "Walk With Me" at DanceATL's A.M. Collaborative Final Showing last week !

Choreography by yours truly, Performed by Cherish Dance : Katelyn Roth, Nancy Glasscock, and I
Special thanks to Loren Catherine for reserving the studio space for us at CORE Dance.
And thanks to Ruben de Rijcke for his filming expertise.
Who's ready to make something new with the next round of A.M. Collab ??
Ahh. The relaxing feeling of doodling.
All three of these are for my friend, Jacquelyn Pritz, whose quotes were so lovely, I couldn't pick just one.
The second print is Tagalog, meaning "kindred spirit, neighbor, or fellow humans."
Hence, the simple ovals looped together.
Hope you're having a very sunny Saturday.
