"Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark." . . . Agnes de Mille
A dancer must dance.
Adam Cohen's music video, Melissa's Dream, was inspired by his original composition, Galactic Layers. Composed during The Pandemic, it captures the confinement, restlessness, and ennui of 2020.

Ruminations on: The Dancer's Foot
I have every pair of shoes I ever wore in A Chorus Line. This is a small cross-section. I cannot throw them away. There is so much life in them. If you look closely, you'll see a "Cassie" shoe, and a "Judy Turner" shoe. I was a "Cassie" understudy when I first joined the International Company. The jazz boot below - what remains of it - is from dances classes with Hama, the Luigi master. During the Pandemic, all furniture was moved to the periphery of our tiny living room and my daughter and I danced, as best we could, Hama's warm-up and routines. I will say this: out of necessity, my turns improved. The floor was destroyed. Some days we survived. Some days we thrived. Any day I can dance is a good day.
