with Erika Mitsuhashi on Privilege
“A handful of types of elementary particles, which vibrate and fluctuate constantly between existence and non-existence and swarm in space, even when it seems that nothing is there, combine together to infinity like the letters of a cosmic alphabet to tell the immense history of galaxies, of the innumerable stars, of sunlight, of mountain, woods, and fields of grain, of the smiling faces of the young at parties, and of the night sky studded with stars.”

Artistic Associate Eowynn Enquist, Fall 2020
I genuinely go to a place where I feel, in the moment, that a work I am part of is everything that I am. I can’t always work on one project at a time - a frustration. Most of all, I focus on one room at a time. A project can be only one or two months long, but it is still a complete season in a way – and each season is jampacked.

DAY # 53 BC SHELTER IN PLACE ORDER: GIVING TUESDAY NOW
“There’s something potent about the time - and distance - lag. Making dances is close work. Then you’d have a very different perspective - at some point in the gestating of ideas, a deeper focus emerges, or some event takes place and gives a pivot point to the work. Time together in intimate communion then time apart where process continues.”

BLOOM at the ZAGAR November 19, 2020
What’s influencing me right now is how we move each other… transecting, say, the person you pass at the market…how from one person to another, our gaze changes. We don’t operate independently. How sensitive we are to one another.
Lesley Telford, Choreographer
