Hello dance-techers,
It’s been a while, and plenty to report. Get ready for an exciting ride!
First and foremost, I am going to be attending “Post Me_New ID” in Dresden (Germany) from 31st October to 2nd November 2008, where I will have the opportunity to present our network in the QuickFire sessions.

If you’re going, please get in touch with me, as I would love to meet as many of you as possible.
Dance Tech: The Series
The “Dance Tech” series will be premiering next week on TenduTV . The first episode presents highlights and excerpts of interviews with Gideon Obarzanek, Jill Johnson and Rachid Ouramdane. It has been an exciting and educational experience to work with Marc Kirschner from TenduTV and co-Exec producer Kevin Harkins to put together a very dynamic and deep program that reflects the sophistication of our artists/thinkers/researchers. TenduTV will be available on Sling.com and TidalTV.
