Side-by-side with those who know how to move the way he and his first company moved.

"The clips are such vivid
- and practical -
resources!
The short movies have helped us
focus our intentions in group rehearsals,
and I think the movies also provide opportunities
for self-paced learning & reflection by the individual dancers."
