As Spring is approaching and my front yard daffodils are showing their bright yellow petals, the world is going into hiding. 
I am grateful for the time we live in, that we have fast spread of information, that we can connect to each other even when we are physically separated. I am grateful that I can educate and entertain my children online and speak to my family, who lives across the globe daily. 

This new COVID-19 world takes adjustment. 

I waited for as long as I could to reschedule all the events I am producing. I wanted to send you this email with specific rescheduled dates... but alas, we are still working on it.  
Hope all of you are doing well and not too stir crazy.  Remember to move every day and listen to favorite old music as well as new. 
Here is a really awesome song, my family dances to all time.  Bombino is fantastic and I highly recommend all his music. We don't know what the lyrics say, so if you do, please let us know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ8Oq35T4ME

WORKSHOP
POSTPONED - TWO Workshops with Jeanine Durning


No surprise here! It doesn't look like we will be out of the quarantine until April.  
So, we are definitely rescheduling.  I'm talking to both Jeanine and Fidget Space looking for dates in late May and early to mid June. I'll keep you posted, hopefully we'll have something by next week. 

THANKFULLY we got the check from our sponsor Penn Treaty Special Services District. 
We will be able to pay an advance to Jeanine, who lives entirely from free lance teaching and as a result, has had months of gigs canceled.  She is not the only one, please consider supporting people in the gig economy... Those are house cleaners, babysitters, artists and many many more that are not getting paid right now.

COOPED UP WITH KIDS AT HOME
Projects I am excited about
Teaching - I was planning on teaching and Improvisation class this Spring, but now I'm thinking of offering my "Understanding the Digital Frame" class focused on composition for the camera and the moving image online.  I still haven't figured it out as I have my kids with me 24/7, so trying to do this, would be a bit more difficult now. 

Photo Studio - for years I have been wanting to set up a small photo studio at home, where I can experiment with long exposure photos and just play.  I think I will attempt that with the kids, but need to clean up my basement big time;) 

Yoga/Inversion swing - Similar, I've been interested in this for a while and I feel like I need to trick myself into exercising more, plus my back pain would be so happy about it. The only place to have that though is in the middle of our living room, so I'm working on my husband willingness to drill in the ceiling in the middle of our living room.

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe and sane.  I will keep you updated on all the events coming. You can also check out my IG platforms @zstoy and @bodymeld, where I will be updating with news and sharing dances with my kids ;)


All the best and keep healthy!
