I have been creating dance/theatre projects, indoors, and, out in nature, my entire life.
Last June, The Fig Newton Theatre Garden Dancers created Site Specific Dances and performed them to a crowd of 155 outside in my garden, yard and driveway.
Community-Building/Dance Theatre projects I have created:
The Newton Project: Newton has a long, fierce battle going between residents who want regulations on leaf blowers and those who feel that any regulations are stepping on their freedoms. I invited people from both sides to this arts event; together we wrote poetry, danced,  and made visual art. A lovely time was had by all and new friendships have been forged.
The Crystal Lake Community Dance Project – We celebrated our lake with dance, giant puppets and a collaboration of musicians calling out to each other across the lake.
Arts Alive: We improvise and interact with the public as a variety of comedic characters such as “Famous Authors, Dotologists, Oddioloogists, Fortune Tellers, UPS Delivery folks, and, more…”
Do Business/Make Art: We observed movement and visuals in three  local Newton businesses; Cobella Beauty Salon, George Howell Coffee and Hip Stitch, and, choreographed, and, performed dances based on those businesses.
The Artful Piano: Every Summer, Newton places artfully painted pianos all over Newton. We create structured improvisations inspired by each piano.
Creativity Lab: Since 2009, I have been co-teaching “Creativity Lab” at the New Art Center since 2009 to the present; a course that invites students to explore movement improvisation as well as all genres of art.

REGISTRATION POLICIES

Insufficient Enrollment: The New Art Center will make a full refund for any class cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.

Withdrawal: Up to 7 days before the first class, you may withdraw for a refund, less a $25 administrative fee per class. For any tuition payments paid by credit card your full convenience fees will be deducted from your refund. Withdrawals from classes, workshops, and events under $40 are eligible for course credit only, less a $10 fee or the full tuition amount can be donated to the New Art Center. Donors will receive an acknowledgment letter for tax purposes. Course credits are good for 1 year from the date of issue, after which time you will receive an acknowledgment letter for tax purposes.

Summer Camp Withdrawal: All withdrawals for our Summer Camp must be made by June 9 to receive a refund, less a $25 administrative fee per week. For any tuition payments paid by credit card, your full convenience fees will be deducted from your refund.

Student Absences: No refunds will be made for student absences including absences due to COVID or other sickness. We understand that students may have to miss class for a variety of reasons, but New Art decides whether or not to run a class before the term starts based on enrollment and sufficient tuition to cover our costs. Refunding students for individual absences makes it difficult to calculate a breakeven point for each class.

Faculty Absences: All efforts will be made to find a substitute for faculty absences. In the event that a class must be cancelled, students will be notified by email, which will be sent to the address provided during registration. One makeup class will be scheduled each term for a single absence by a faculty member. For multiple absences, a substitute faculty member will be assigned. There will be no refunds for faculty absences.

Scholarships: Limited scholarships are available according to need. Please apply here.
