This is something we had only dreamed about in the past, but due to the constraints we had from the pandemic, we got down with our imaginations and drew this dream into reality.

At this time of equinox, we reflect on the need for balance amongst all forms of life on earth. We reach out with our dances to heal, to hope, to ground, to question, to reach, to dream...as we pray for good health, clear air, and an end to the devastating fires raging across the west coast of the U.S.

As Founding Artistic Director of DANCING EARTH, I felt the great shift this year has brought: much loss, sorrow, pain and with it an opportunity for truth and for re-imagining. With support from our circle, we have been able to meet this challenge with creativity and collaboration, to meet the moment, and welcome, in online practices, an uplifting of our incredible artists and our communities.
