It is October. Everywhere the leaves are turning colors, drifting off the trees. in my garden, these flowers are blooming. September, October are their months. Everywhere are webs – the spider’s are mating, and beautiful houses are part of the dance. I can feel it too – a quickening, a deepening of flavors in the waning.

From left to right: Alissa Cardone, DeAnna Pellecchia, Mia Keinanen and Ingrid Schatz. These beautiful women have worked with me as dancers for various durations beginning with Mia in 1995! DeAnna and Ingrid still do, both with horses and without. This photo was taken after our performance at Boston University on Friday night.
Besides the incredible energy, beauty and intelligence that pours from these women, there is a deep heart/body/soul connection that we share, growing from many, many hours spent collectively diving into the deep well of movement and consciousness. I am so appreciative of each of them. Ellen Sebring, the astonishing woman who took the photo, has documented my work and collaborated on film projects with me for twenty-five years. Here she is with lovely Pony (he has his own webpage!!!):
Come see SPEAK! I am performing the full length version of this dance at Boston University in the Dance Theater in the FitRec Center, 915 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston tomorrow and Saturday. It is a shared program with some other lovely dancers. See below for details.
Go deeper
past thought
into silence
past silence
into stillness
deeper still
past stillness
into the heart
now
let the love
consume
whatever is left of you
