Artistic Differences



I quit dancing with Troupe Sicorae and now dance exclusively with Ouvert. I've never had a breakup quite like this. One of the weird things about breakups is announcing them. It feels weird to say it out loud, and then once you do, no one knows what to say in response. I am saying this aloud to clear up confusion. I have performed with both troupes this spring, but I have recently decided to quit Troupe Sicorae. I am still a member of the dance co-op that rents the studio. I will continue to dance with Troupe Sicorae at haflas and informal events, but it will be as improvisational dancers with the same base language, not members of the same troupe. I am sad even though I am happy.

The picture above was taken by Ben Bird at the Farmer's Market as I watched Troupe Sicorae perform. I love the peacefulness on my face and strive for that every day.
