Well, it’s been about a week since I’ve been back from the Vermont Studio Center. It was kind of a tough week, re-entering, going back to work, etc. I was at VSC for two weeks and it was a pretty amazing experience. I have never done anything like VSC before. There is truly something to be said about having time to let your brain breathe, to come to creativity. And about not being in New York. Here are some photos.

My sleeping house.
My studio. Outside that window there is a river.

An afternoon walk.

Being at VSC is something I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to experience and hope it will inform future decisions in my life.

Even though it was a rough week transitioning back to my everyday responsibilities, I did get to go on a wonderful date to see an evening of the Merce Cunningham Legacy Tour at BAM. Here is an excerpted video of BIPED from 1999, one of the pieces we saw at BAM. I don’t know much about dance but found myself enthralled.
