DANCE LINES
Laurie Kammin Mitchell (Company Member 1992-1994)
“(In the rehearsal process) Jan liked to use words or phrases. She had us improvise to them and then we would try to remember what we did. It was a long process, but it would always lead to the unexpected which was what was so exciting about it. I became more open to what dance could be. I really appreciate the process of collaboration. Jan’s clear and nurturing way of combining everything has been inspirational.”
