Dear visitor,
I am writing this at a time of war and crises in the Middle East. There’s been a lot of pain, loss, and suffering accumulated in that part of the world in the last few months. Creating art feels meaningless and yet urgent since then. I wish for the suffering to end, for the pain to ease, for people to return home, and for parents to raise their children in safety. My hope is that art will continue to provide a place to celebrate differences, complexities, ambiguities, and failure. I hope that the dance field can remain a safe place for dialogue and transformation during these challenging times.
