Jenny Lai, of NOT fashion designer design, working tirelessly on my costume (made from the soles of pointe shoes).. and she is in quite a humbling position I might add. HA!

Ballet Confessions Project

I am thrilled to announce that Ballet Confessions Project is underway!  For the past year and a half I’ve been developing my solo dance-theater work about a creature immersed in the world of ballet.  I am continuing to develop, research and fundraise for the culminating show this May 2014! Stay tuned for more information.
