GUYS!! We won!! A SAGE award!!
… the very human depth and variety demonstrated at the Sage awards, the obvious fact that the art/work is the motivation and justification and reward, the self-supportive and forward-looking investigations in both pedagogy and in practice, the perfect blend of self-respect, humility, humor, with a healthy disregard for the conventions established by the powers that be, give me hope for something worthwhile surviving the plunge to the lowest common denominator of the bottom line that is all the rage.
I'll try once again: Thanks to everyone in the dance community, for dancing, choreographing, going to shows, giving artist discounts, being friendly, working hard on your dances and in all other aspects of your life, asking hard questions, supporting MKT, and generally fighting the good fight. Thanks to everyone who isn't in the dance community, for supporting dancers, seeing shows, taking risks with your time, attention and money, asking questions, giving hugs, forgiving me when I don’t show up to social events for six weeks in a row (hi, game night),and being curious, intelligent, funny people.
These are the other (awesome) winners.
