Feature on UNI website

Here's the link to a feature about me posted on the University of Northern Iowa website. Student Steven Sanchez of UNI Proud interviewed me during the spring 2013 semester just prior to some really fabulous campus LGBT programming that he helped to organize.

A couple of exquisite Rameau productions

 This Paris production of Jean-Philippe Rameau's "Les Paladins" includes the lithe Topi Lehtipuu and the rubbery Laurent Naouri as well as hip-hop dancers and fantastical video projections. It's absolutely a joy to watch from start to finish.

This Rameau production of "Hippolyte et Aricie" looks nostalgically Baroque. The dancing is beautiful, the cast's posture perfect, and the singing so very beautiful. Also, I highly recommend the June 2012 New York Times review of this show.
