As a dance musician, hardly a day goes past when I don’t call on the wisdom & inspiration of some of the fantastic people I’ve known & worked with in the last 20 years in the dance world. I’ve been toying with the idea of doing web-tributes/appreciations of some of these people for ages, as a way of both giving thanks, and also redressing the epistemological balance. So here it is, my Advent 2005 calendar of dance inspirations.
They’re in no particular order, some will be 2 lines long, others 200. I’m sure it won’t be a definitive list, and of course, it’s a very personal one.
I’m Brazilian, researcher
You met Iris Gomes Bertoni, a Brazilian student of Jonh Obrien in the 80s. I’m writing about her and I can find few records from that period
Obrigada

Hi Soraia, I’ve replied to this in an email, but I’m leaving your comment here, just in case someone else from that period of John’s classes sees it and can help.
Jonathan, many thanks for your attencion!
