Summer Stages was the perfect setting for my collaboration with Laura (Chiramonte). The many showings and exposure of the works-in-progress really helped us find its shape onto the performance. Both Amy and Richard and the staff were very supportive and open to our many experiments and re-definitions of the work. The relaxed-but-still-pushing atmosphere allowed us to establish a dialogue and have way into eachother's thoughts, but not linger or get lost in the process.
I felt very lucky to work with a group of Summer Stages dancers so open and willing to experiment within themselves at great depth. The group of fellows became quite a supportive environment for exchanges, insights and examination of my own biases.
Summer Stages allowed me to take a more objective look at creative processes.
