Today is the first day in six days that I have felt as though I can just be. The only schedule I have is to be with Lydia since she is here for the day, and then take a little needed time around the city which, as stated earlier, is my laboratory as well.
The week ended with an incredible workshop on inclusion, a new program at NDI, with a separate training program.
"The NDI DREAM Project (Dancers Realize Excellence through Arts and Movement) is a unique program and teaching methodology designed to serve children with disabilities. Co-developed by NDI Associate Artistic Director Kay Gayner and Pediatric Physical Therapist Agnes McConlogue Ferro, the DREAM program brings children with and without disabilities together to dance and perform as an ensemble."
As I lean in to the third week, this will be in the back of my brain, for the future.
