…on the famous redwood deck (designed by her recently deceased husband, renowned landscape architect, Lawrence Halprin) at her mountain home studio in Kentfield, CA were just announced in an email I received today – they are open to anyone and I really wish I was in Northern California so that I could participate – she was born in 1920 – she has made dances for the city streets, and the woods, and only sometimes for the theater – she is the trailblazer for most of what I think is interesting in dance today – she takes teaching seriously as a part of her work, not just to professionals, but kids, the elderly, the sick, and anyone that wants to move – I also just saw the revival of her stunning 1965 Parades and Changes last year which blew me away, I think I was on the edge of my seat with a smile on my face the whole time – check out all of the books by, and about her, here.
