i have not performed solo for many years.  Then something about working with Ryder Cooley last year sparked my performer self and I started to play in the studio.  Pretty soon there was a little dance.  I performed it at Club Helskinki in Hudson last year and then I wanted more, much more.  On January 11, I will perform that solo at Lincoln Center.  It is part of a showcase of artists in conjunction with the big APAP (Association of Performing Arts Presenters) conference that happens every January.  Between 5:30 and 11 pm you can see about 24 companies doing short pieces for $10, hosted by Jodi Kaplan and Booking Dance.

I am excited and a little surprised.  It is not easy for me to do this and yet having reach a certain age, I feel that there is nothing to lose.  The piece is called “Speak,” and is inspired by my recent studies of autism, apraxia, synesthesia and what it means to be full of something to say with no easy way to say it.

Youare invited. Here are the details:  January 11 Performance!
