Well, hello!

Yes. We know...it has been more than a minute. But, I guess, you could say we are so busy DOING we haven't had time to document what we are doing - to spread the word to all of you. Basically, just so caught up it was hard to find a minute to write.
What's New?

We received a 5K grant from the University of Michigan's Arts on Earth Program! This money will support our work on the Detroit Narratives Project. For Detroit Narratives we are interviewing Detroiters of all ages, backgrounds, colors, beliefs, and experiences to find out what it means to be a Detroiter - in all of the wonderful and diverse ways it can be thought of and expressed. We are then going to take the transcripts from these interviews and translate them into MOVEMENT, SONG, PHOTOS, and ARTWORK. Yeah, WOW! We have already interviewed over 20 people. We'll keep you posted cause more than likely we'll be calling on you for input in the very near future.

We are teaching ballet at the Boll Family YMCA in downtown Detroit on Saturdays. These amazing little ones have REALLY forced us to up our game when it comes to developing new movement, keeping our energy up and finding creative ways to keep them engaged. You should see us by the end of the day Saturday - tore up from the floor up - after 3 back to back classes. But you know what they say - spread the love, spread the talent and watch the world change. Or, maybe BlackLight just made that one up.



One more thing. BlackLight will be holding a week-long workshop series this summer at the YMCA. Come and be a part of the Light! We'll get back to you with exact dates soon.
