Regional Dance Deveopment Initiative: New England Now dance Platform is here! I’ve been floating on clouds, and feeling deeply rooted in my artist community as we finally gather together. I am so thankful to be part of this cohort of generous, honest, bold, insightful creatives.

I’m overflowing with gratitude to everyone who supported the development of this dance. They include: my family, viper dramaturge Grace Mi-He Lee; visionary design consult Clementine Cummer, karen Krolak & Nicole Harris of Monkeyhouse for commissioning me for Agaist the Odds in 2020; the RDDI cohort, Mar Parilla, Jean Appolon, Scott McPheeters, Jenny Oliver, all the support from NEFA’s Public Art for Spatial Justice team, and Dance offices, everyone from The Dance Complex, LexFarm, Cambridge Center for Families, my NOURISH attendees from Cambridge, and Debra Cash from the Boston Dance Alliance.
