Last Day at the Compound

This is a clip from the day I left my one-year sublet at The Compound Brooklyn. My life as a dancer has been powerfully nourished by living in this community of artists. I am so grateful to each and every one of my neighbors for the many gifts they have brought into my life--especially their beautiful children.

This dance represents a demonstration of a conceptual framework that echoes Coleridge's idea of "organic form." He posited that, for any one poem, there was an ideal form that would organically grow out of its occasion--that the form would be *determined* by the needs of the poem, by what it needed to express.

It is my belief that the hoop carves its own inevitable dance out of the available and possible shapes and potentialities that surround it at any given moment. In this dance, a matrix I have been sensing for a while suddenly became more clear to me. It was as though the inspiration of living with so many gifted, generous, and expansive people were concentrated into one dance. Compounders, this is for you.
