I savor wondering, cultivating a deeper knowing of the world through the meta-morphic powers of dancing. That mind-body connection and the culture-building strength that it has keeps me tuned into its call to move through what is liminal en route to those distal discoveries about connection with others. I believe that we bridge differences through deep listening, sensing and feeling through practices of artistic exploration, care and vulnerability.
