A long birth and quick death

It’s been a month since Longer Than a Shadow premiered and while it feels like a life time ago its still close enough to touch.

A long birth and quick death is how I have often described the performing arts. Marc Boivin once said to me “you have to be in love with the process”, I am. The come down as they say has been gradual which I am grateful for. Bienvenue was here for 5 days after the show, so we had time to celebrate and be tourists together.

I have been costume designing for The School of Toronto Dance Theatre, Kaeja d’Dance, and Blue Ceiling Dance. I finally unpacked my suit case from our trip to Burkina. 

Mostly though I find that post show time is about germinating sprouted ideas from what was just created and dreaming up the next ambitious plan. Bienvenue, John, Bema and I will find our way back to the studio, I am quite sure of it, I only hope its sooner than later.
