It was from a workshop on creating solo dance with Karen Bernard that I feel my career as a solo creator/dancer truly began. Subsequently being presented by New Dance Alliance’s Performance Mix was a further huge turning point for me. I can never adequately thank Karen and her Alliance for all she and it have meant to me.
