Submit!
As part of this blog, I think it’d be great to not only post about what hollins dance is up to but to include submissions from everybody. So what I’d love to see is whatever inspires you. Could be dances, music videos, photos, visual art, anything. This aspect of the blog could be used as creative stimulus for all of us!
Come on, you know you want to!

to all women of hollins dance & the world
a little reminder from bell hooks…pointed out to me by the wonderful emily suggs:
“We must be willing to restore the spirit of risk—to be fast, wild, to be able to take hold, turn around, transform”

(don’t quote me) now, we...
