My Blog: More Than Muscle
I'm happy to announce that starting April 6th I'll be posting a weekly blog on the subject of dance as a spiritual discipline. My posts will be timed to serve as the lesson plan for my new amateur dance company class and rehearsals. You can read and comment on the topics by going here: More Than Muscle.

Once upon a time I had my own dance company. It started out as a recital by my health club dance class students. Here we go again. You don't have to join us on stage to get in on the fun and education of perparing a dance for performance.It's a special kind of family in the making and you are welcome to become a part of it. For those who wish to perform, we'll have a recital of a contemporary ballet at the San Francisco Bay Club's Dance Day, May 18th!

My most recent composition is my second play. "The Wisdom to Know the Difference" is the story of two men of different generations coping with their self-image in a romance. One of them doesn't have much time to find love. Is the glass half-empty or half-full? The extremes of these points of view are represented by unseen angels. You can read the play on the Fiction page of this site> in fact you can act it, direct it and critique it. The table-reading party is Saturday, February 18th from 2:00 - 4:00 PM, on the Auditorium stage of the Eureka Valley Recreation Center, 100 Collingwood at 18th Street, San Francisco.
