Be Our Guest: Finding Creative Time + Space

My residency was a life-changing experience, which opened many doors in my quest to both preserve tradition and find valid ways of contributing fresh, personal, and contemporary material to the genre. It also unlocked the door to a rich source of internal inspiration and creative potential that I will probably explore for the rest of my life.
