Full circle...tying it in

The change factor of this project seems to be a constant. It feels like quicksilver. Right now a lot of things are being loosely held so that at the right time it can be held compactly like magnets. It isn't about choreography but more the project development overall. I am glad to welcome two new advisers that will be contributing to seeing this production set sail...Graeme Collins will be an artistic adviser transitioning from September and continuing after Ming leaves at the end of the year, and Pei-Kuang Chang joins my production team as Technical Adviser. I have interesting connections that link me through this project, it definitely carries a sense of full circle. I fly to India on 6/23 and return on 7/7, family time with many reunions. I feel like the things I learn through the experience of  doing this project and working with such an array of masters in the fields of dance, choreography, research and production, is invaluable. it isn't written in any book and it isn't the knowledge you get taking a class. I am just so grateful for the opportunity of being in such a place at such a time, with the heart and fervor to pursue what I am passionate about. It is rare, and very delicate. I have officially finished my 3rd year at TNUA and will now be a 4th year graduate student. I've definitely come a long long long way since I first stepped into the halls of this dance school. It's strange how things change, it is my only constant. The shaping of an artist can be such beauty, there is a master design,
