Limited Time, Infinite Space

​Last week, I missed writing this post because we were sick with the stomach flu. Fun. Anyhow, sometimes I feel like I am running around and around trying to get everything done. Jobs for six arms when I only have two. I like these ramblings. These random thoughts that come out of my brain during Friday mornings when I have committed to this practice of writing. These posts will continue to be a marker. A diary almost of the progress of life and projects. I started these posts as a journal to myself to check in on Gastropod, my evening length work exploring pregnancy and postpartum through the lens of a snail. Now titled, “Slowly, Slowly, we begin again”, and set to premiere in Fall of 2025. I know, I know, I have “set” premiere dates before. But this time is different. In fact, the purpose of this post is to share how I am going to be pulling back the curtain, or the epiphragm, more and more on this project and sharing glimpses into it. Hopefully, this will grow excitement for the project and a following of potential audience members. I can’t imagine convincing 50+ people to come to my one woman show is going to be easy. Actually, its not going to be one woman. Audition notice coming soon for a few additional dancers. We are really doing this. We have a date. We have the space. We have a lighting designer. We have the score (almost finished…ahem, nick? -Nick is my partner and helps assemble my music…). We will be getting save the dates sent out! Via Newsletter and snail mail. Speaking of…You can sign up for my newsletter under the contact tab…As for snail mail, if you send me your physical address, I will send you a letter of love! I have been saying “we” but it is just me…Remember jobs for six arms? While, I have limited time to work on projects, I do work on them. Right now, I have wheels turning on this evening length performance (rehearsals officially scheduled May-June to finish choreography), letters of love in the mail, collages for something special laid out on my desk, a printmaking project on the other…. Which finally brings me to say that a new blog practice is beginning…I am going to continue to share these thoughts, here in this format, but you will also notice a new tab on my site, for a new blog, a more traditional blog (some may say). This new blog will feature, as previously mentioned, a glimpse into process for Slowly, slowly… But differently than this. It will more clearly outline what my process of dance making looks like for those who are in other worlds. On this new blog, we will continue to explore all elements of making, moving, and mothering. It will grow and change, as we do. Because, while we have limited time to work, we have infinite space to work in.
