NDA Performance Mix Festival 2013 offered me an opportunity to present a new work in progress and to take an artistic risk by going in a new direction. As an artist at the border of theatre and dance, I was honored to be included in the festival and to be part of the community that was created during those weeks. The festival was a positive experience overall and I am grateful to NDA for including me.
