into the woods, what's in the water

"Fairy tales provide scripts for living, but they also can inspire resistance to those scripts and, in turn, to other apparently predetermined paths." - Elizabeth Harris, Fairy Tales and Feminism: New Approaches"

Big If Dance Experiments

This is a format for inviting people to join me in exploring ideas through movement, text, music and whatever else is at hand. It is an opportunity for me to work creatively with others, but not to be responsible for "teaching". Each person is responsible for pursuing and crafting their own experience in relationship with the material and with each other. We have frequent members, and always new people as well. The name of the group comes from Charles Darwin in a letter to John Hooker:

"It is often said that all the conditions for the first production of a living organism are now present, which could ever have been present. But if (and oh what a big if) we could conceive in some warm little pond with all sorts of ammonia and phosphoric salts, - light, heat, electricity &c. present, that a protein compound was chemically formed, ready to undergo still more complex changes, at the present day such matter wd be instantly devoured, or absorbed, which would not have been the case before living creatures were formed."
