Galen Hooks is a choreographer whose work I deeply admire. Not only has she created choreography videos that I watch again and again but in today’s inspiration she hosts an event called Freestyle Roulette in which dancers spin for a theme and a song and then improvise on the spot. The results are deeply individual and always fascinating. In this particular episode, be sure you watch the last one. It’s a beauty!

Raveena

This morning my sisters and I were talking about what a comfort music is at this time. If you don’t know about NPR Music’s Tiny Desk concerts, welcome to a rabbit hole of beauty and joy. You can start with the soulful laidback jazzy tunes of Raveena.

What music are you enjoying right now?

Depending on where you are, you may or may not be able to go out for a walk. In this video Byron Katie not only describes an approach to your walk, if you can take it, but also provides a visual walk for you to experience from wherever you are. I found it very calming to sit in my studio and go on this walk with her guidance and presence. I hope you will too.

From this first moment I saw this performance by Pomplamoose of Je Me Suis Fait Tout Petit, an old French tune by Georges Brassens, I fell in love not only with the song but also the infectious joy of the performers. Today I watch it with delight and remember how good it will be when people can get close to one another again!
