The Question of Questions, The Problem of Problems, and the Practice of Practice. It is my belief that we, as educators, have a profound ethical responsibility to our students to consciously evolve. I actively engage in this “conscious evolution” through my engagement with contemplative practices and pedagogies and other activities that cultivate the capacities of mindfulness, compassion, and empathy. These capacities lead to an enhanced facility to effectively deal with complexity, engage in creativity, explore curiosity, and consider and include multiple perspectives.  Whether it is at a workshop, a festival, or an academic setting, learning is critical to well-being, creativity, and sense-making. Curiosity is indispensable. The willingness to enter into the unknown, the abandonment of binary thinking, and the ability to hold and examine paradox are all qualities that can be cultivated.  I don't teach dance, I see dance as a context for learning, discovering, discarding and always beginning again.
