It has been a great start to the Phoenix KMI. It is good to be working, after a period of separation, hand in glove with Larry again, and Peter, and with the 20 alert and willing students who have showed up here. We have fewer ‘foreigners’ here this time (unless you count California as a different country), but Kerstin is here from Bavaria, and Noemie is assisting from French-speaking Canada, and Stephanie from Ontario, so we have a bit of spice in the stew. Oh yes, and Thadd from another planet!
A wide variety of talents and experiences, too, from people just trying it on with a background in movement through those who are already doing it in many ways through well-educated PT’s – always a dance to keep the process of building toward the same page happening, given the differing needs of the various students. I think we’re getting ok at it. 
Being in the middle of the Mesa Arts Center is perfect. Tensegrity sculptures outside to give us shade, music, children, gurgling in a water feature outside, the occasional burst of flame or sounds of hammering from the pottery, glass, and iron furnaces. Very conducive to the learning of the art, craft, and science of SI – a form of sculpture with a medium that gets up and walks away.
Now let’s see what we can do with the second 4 days - teaching is fun.
