"All mankind is divided
into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those
that move." -Benjamin Franklin
it takes time to learn who you are as an artist, a
performer, a mover. it takes even more time to learn who you are as a group of
artists, performers and movers. it takes a continuous strive for excellence, unyielding
integrity, complete openness, compassion and respect, a clear vision, and a
solid plan, to succeed as a collaborative dance company. "Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success." - Henry Ford
we are presenting a line-up of work this upcoming weekend
that speaks to who we are as a company. the movers and dance makers in this
group are strong, fearless, powerful, but at the same time emotive, vulnerable,
and real. the movement is of the juicy delicious kind contrasted with grounded
power and palpable energy… and I’m so excited for our supporters/friends/and newbies
to see what we have created together. (an onlooker this past weekend at Jose
Mateo’s Dance for World Community described our soloist as a “beast”, which in
the dance world, if you don’t know, is a
total complimentJ)
“trust the process.”
as you can tell by how i speak of the women of SPUNKandCO, i
am continuously amazed by their talents, dedication, thoughtfulness, creativity
and artistry. along with our forging ahead together we value process, and
continue to push each other, support each other: to become better artists,
movers and people.
