WE DID IT! Filming is done, and editing begins

Hello lovely! I'm delighted to announce that we wrapped filming of ''Barely a Person'', my dance theatre piece giving voice to Postpartum depression, this past weekend. On our (covid safe) set were myself, Jess Headington (director), Sean Pettis (filmmaker) and Dana Hunt (lights, B camera). I was relieved that, what with it being a personal, vulnerable and emotionally taxing piece to dance, I had such a supportive group to work with. It made a huge difference.  THANK YOU so much to all of you who contributed your voices to this work. We ended up with several mother's voices from 4 different countries making up the soundtrack.  We head into editing now and the film will be available in May. More details then!  Here are some shots of our shoot, from Jess and I.    April 2021 Register for CLASS

It's visually stunning, magical, hilarious, and I've heard several audience members comment ''that was the first Shakespeare play where I've understood the whole thing!"
