Katherine Adamenko had a second piece called Shocked. I couldn’t photograph it, basically it was about having a shock treatment. She did  a brilliant job of enacting that experience, but it was too much for me.

If you look closely you will see she has arrows in her body. This piece ranged from lyrical to agonized.

Last Friday, a type of performance/workshop with

Men in Dance,  five choreographers. This was right before they started. Each one created a dramatic contrast of emotions. The man on the far right in the white shirt is a friend of mine, Bryon Carrr

Next to him is CHris Bell from New York, then in the background with long hair is Jet DogDog,(Long Branch California), Will Jessup and Bnjamin Defaria ( Vancouver BC) and Jameel Hendricks  (Philadelphia) . the woman standing on the right was one of the three panelists who offered feedback on the performance.

Next was Indigenous People’s Day a rally and march down

fifth avenue, celebrating and honoring elders.
