This is so good! Yes to the marriage take! Learned so much history in the dance take! Who needs twitter, let's make belated but thoughtful newsletter takes the new tweet!
Loved the dance history take. As an ex-gymnast I’ve always been fascinated (and empowered) the human body’s ability to move through space and what it means beyond the technical— especially enjoyed the lines drawn through history!
Thanks so much for this! There's so much (warranted) attention paid to the destructive effects of dance/gymnastics culture, from eating disorders to sexual abuse, that the beauty and power of it sometimes seems an afterthought. But it can be so meaningful, both personally and as an artform. I feel like a weird evangelist on this point of late.
