I am Also- Eleanor

Working with Eleanor on I am Also - Eleanor, has left me feeling like I have come home and that I am also in some newly chartered territory.

Feeling ready to let go of an old way of working, but also feeling attached to the past.

I am feeling like I am at home with Eleanor. Our shared memories of working together these past 11 years are deep.

I met Eleanor at Bates Dance Festival. She was a student and I was with a group who was teaching and performing there.

She was smiling and tall and grounded. I can see her now in the auditorium…
