When I was a child my Father told me, "if you want to be a better skier, ski behind someone better than yourself".
So in 2000, aware that I was working with artists that had suddenly become half my age, I decided I needed more contact with my own generation – so I formed THE GLUE FACTORY PROJECTS - full evening length works created on internationally and nationally renowned performers over the age of 45. At the time, the PROJECTS existed as a vehicle alongside my "other choreographic works" – both commissioned or works done for my own company of younger dancers.
Between 2000 – 2003, along side my other full evening length "younger based works," I created 4 full evening works with astounding older performing artists that fed and nurtured me. Then, unexpectedly, in 2003 I was invited to run a nationally renowned repertory company. During my 6 years there I created a number of repertory works and continued to serve my own personal artistic growth by engaging guest choreographers whose work inspired me, the dancers in the company, and the audiences with whom they were shared.
In 2010 another unexpected door opened.
I walked through – returning my artistic focus to solely my own work - specifically focusing on THE GLUE FACTORY PROJECTS. It is what I have been doing since. I continue to grow. Happily skiing behind some of the best of the best.
