My choreographic process is like a scrapbook - I play with phrasework until I build a foundation that feels organic. I start small & slowly integrate full body movement once I have blueprint in place.

The people on the right getting mad at Tucker Carlson for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast don’t seem to have gotten mad at all at Donald Trump for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at his home for dinner. Funny that.

The disconnect between higher education’s promises and its sometimes-frustrating reality has helped fuel a conservative movement to upend academia. Over the last decade, though, nearly every U.S. state tried to get more people to earn a certificate or a degree after high school.
