UPDATE: first tier’s ahtta here 💨
so how’s the year going so far? time for a check-in, I reckon.
a liiight one. a short, sweet but no less deep one.
calling the familiar, the uninitiated, the curious, the tentative, the keen.
whether specialising in one style or across many, street, classical or otherwise, with movement at the core or on the sidelines with another creative discipline at the centre, I’m talking to you! and holding space if you’d like to fill it. it takes two.
it takes all of us, actually. the people make it.
come spend some time with me, with us. we’ll talk, we’ll write and we will absolutely dance.

💡💡💡 if you were struggling to make the weekend work, a lil’ drop in option just for you. full passes are still up for grabs (second tier is getting slim).
iii is always tailored to the folks in the room, and there are some mainstays that will forever feature, but here are some things of interest to me rn that I’ll have in the tuck:
- an audit of the year so far
- what we might want the rest of the year to be
- getting some sh*t done (IYKYK)
- teaching some existing material for us to each pull apart and put back together
- money talk
PULL UP. future you will thank ya.
teaching choreography from ‘sauce material’, made earlier this year for and with London Contemporary 3rd Years.
it’s
handsy
gently but definitely textured
evenly timed with a bit of speed on her
meditative in a surrender will get you everywhere tension won’t kinda way.
(did I just describe myself? maybe. ANYWAY.)
i’m leaning into a learn with the music looping scenario but let’s see. either way, it’ll be fun and you should come.

‘twas not a dance trip but I did do some dancin’!
3 for 3 w/ @isidroirehi x @trevortakemoto and a STELLAR time had, for many reasons outside of these sweet steps.
so grateful to have a home in @movement.lifestyle and it never gets old to walk through the doors feeling that way. 💚
(this video features glimmers of a gem @kelliekessling . a pleasure spending time those times we did sweet friend.)
gotta let the community you hold hold you sometimes, y’know?
succinctly put, but really. ♾️
thank you @fi_silverthorn - you’ve been riding for iii and I from day. in showing up for yourself, you’ve affirmed me over and over and now look at what you do for so many. I see you and all you do 🫡🫂 oh and thanks for letting me join @collective.sonder for a second also, I had a lovely time.
tiiiny humble opinions: the voicenotes. snips from the latest batch.
016 - on folks winging it at every level, an Assistant Choreographer’s workload and industry standards still smelling like the ‘10s
015 - on the mandem doing big big bits and the aftermath of leading iii
014 - on shows I saw, agent/artist dynamics and reaching my people directly
013 - on clarifying support, a return to foundations and training cleanliness
dropping in mailboxes far and wide on a weekly(ish) basis, alternating between voicenotes and ‘resonant scraps.’ a special edition of the latter featuring nuggets from Jonathan Burrows is up next.
join the 100+ for easy access to the goods. link is where you think.
From the @sonofcloud notes to self album.
This moment with @tali_1301 still resonates deeply. Thank you always to these giants, these magnificent makers who have trusted us along the way. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
a chance to see @amycook_photography ’s work as intended because yes it will be overlaid with branding and used for promotional materials for the next five years tenk yew.
less hair, MORE LIFE.

this is 39. never been more acutely aware of the gift it is to be ALIVE to see another year, let alone living a life with chest, peace and joy. a privilege and one I don’t and can’t make real alone, though I will give myself a pat on the back that does a lot of the heavy lifting. living an easy life is hard ass work. and so it is. love.
keeping it moving. for mobility. agility. of body and mind.
maintaining pick up. execution.
staying ready so I don’t gots ta get ready. stages and screens will continue to find me and i don’t want to be caught slacking.
to know what my students are learning. and teaching. in the room for me, as student. but also for them, as teacher.
keeping my boots on the ground, in real life, in real time, so I know what’s going on. to justify opinion. to help steer us where it might be worth going.
for many reasons. i’m still in the room. that can only be a good thing.
