Hello and Welcome!

Hello and Welcome to the very first official blog post of The Dance
COLEctive!

A new season with TDC brings new work, new dancers, and new ideas, one of
which is this, the official TDC Blog. With the vision and hope of offering
our dedicated and invested audience an in-depth look at the  the inner
workings of The Dance COLEctive, its Director, dancers, and affiliates,
this blog will serve as not only my voice, but that of my dancers as well.
The Dance COLEctive has always been just that, a collection of ideas,
minds, bodies, souls and energy, coming together to create something new
and vibrant, of which no single person can claim sole ownership. Under my
leadership the work TDC has created and presented, both on the stage and
off, has never been a representation of my own thoughts, feelings, and
vision. No. The work of TDC has been that of US. The dancers, the
collaborators, the audience, the teachers, and yes, with a little
guidance, from me.

The same can been said for the inspiration behind this blog. This view of
TDC represents not only my thoughts, history, ideas, and words, but those
of TDC's greatest asset: the dancers. Each dancer will take the
opportunity to contribute to this blog, offering you a glimpse of who they
are as people and dancers, their journeys to and in TDC, and the place
they feel they inhabit in the space of this COLEctive.
You will hear from me directly from time to time but to kick things off
for us, I bring you Maggie Koller, a dancer coming into her 7th season
with TDC.

Maggie's post is coming soon.........
