December engendered completion & celebration, things to enjoy in January
|
Hello beautiful, Fresh indeed, snow fell and I completed my December reflections while beginning my Annual Review process and planning adventures for 2025. In December all of my Ballet students successfully passed their Royal Academy of Dance-style examination, displaying improved technique and artistry. I’m so proud of their progress and eager to proceed to the next level(s) with my dancers! Amidst a month of festivity, I continued to create and publish, enjoy the artistic work of others, and begin the process of reflecting on the past year as a whole and dreaming and planning the next. December brought winter both symbolically, at the seasonal transition of the Winter Solstice, and in reality as temperatures were cold and days short here in Cologne.

Hello beautiful, School began again in Nordrhein-Westfalen this week, and I'm in a flurry of preparation to meet new and returning students and teach and learn exciting things this fall! I've included a couple of schedule updates for September below and will keep you in the loop on further developments as I am able. What role can "gently Socratic" philosophical inquiry play in the context of performing arts education? I consider myself fortunate to have had the honor of participating in Dr....
Hello beautiful, July was about high summer, brought a heat wave and then cool rain to Cologne, and kicked off my "Swashbuckling Summer" and "Splits this Season" series with glowing energy and creativity. This week I've got an article about last month and two new videos for you, a flip-through of the month of July in my Seasonal Bullet Journal Book with reflections, and Part 3 of the Splits this Summer video sequence. Lovely online yogis or potential practitioners: please let me know if...
Hello beautiful, Light as a feather, fluttering in springtime and summer, having had encounters with butterflies in just about every place I have been, I always feel blessed by their gentle presence. Butterfly, Schmetterling, Farfalle, Papillon…I love their many names, their movements, the science and the mystery behind their lifecycles. My late ex mother in law Janine Kirkpatrick’s art faithfully depicting endangered butterflies I find particularly moving. Beloveds do come to mind as a...
