Art is Life and Life is Art....that's my motto. I believe as an artist I find inspiration through all places, spaces, and people in my life. Taking the time to acknowledge and ponder my inspirations allows me to thrive and challenge myself. Here is hoping that my finds/inspiration do the same for you.

WHITE CHRISTMAS :SNOW
YES, it is that time of year again....SNOW! If I have to live with it, this song always helps me get in that mode. From the musical White Christmas featuring music by Irving Berlin, this is one of my favorite songs in the show. It reminds me of being a kid and getting excited about skiing, skating, sledding to name a few! White Christmas has been translated to the stage and will be playing locally at......
DULUTH PLAYHOUSE....http://www.duluthplayhouse.org/WhiteChristmas.html
I must admit the recent snow here in MN covered the trees in a beautiful way and inspired to me to think about creating a dance piece based on the arrival of another extreme season in MN. I will try to post up the pictures of some of the trees I have been looking at ..... now if I can just find those winter clothes to keep me warm outside that long....brrr

Going Bold and Courageous: The Origins
Here is to my first post....CHEERS!
I have been choreographing a couple of pieces in the last month....I was remembering my dance education and the following pioneers came to mind.....I was so enthralled to refresh my memory and learn more about them....
THE Pioneer: Mr. Jack Cole: http://www.dancehelp.com/articles/jazz-dance/jack-cole.aspx
Jerome Robbins: http://jeromerobbins.org/
Mr. Razzle Dazzle, Bob Fosse: http://www.fosse.com/ Side note: this was probably one of the most intriguing and interesting dance syles I have ever learned. I had a fabulous teacher, Ms. Kerry Casserly of Lundstrum Center for the Performing Arts in Minneapolis, MN...she had worked with Bob Fosse in NY.....http://www.lundstrumcenter.org/
Two books come to mind when delving a little deeper with the research...check em' out!:
