Guest Artists in Berlin

Berlin drew in many famous guest artists, Peter Schaufass, Natalia Makarova, Cynthia Gregory, Alexander Godunov, Monica Mason, and many more. When I watched all these amazing principal dancers pull off the impossible on a stage … then I knew that it could be done. When I watched their casual competence in how they knew how to trust their body and skill, and in a performance and completely let go to explore the abandon of their soul, I marveled at how seriously afraid I felt most of the time by comparison.
These amazing principal dancers showed me how far one could go and how far I still had to go. But they did it with an ability to hold grace and tremendous skill in a balanced way.
They never “tried” … they reached out for some intangible thing that they figured out how to hold onto and that allowed them to be carried by some unseen force of goodness within them … into the light.
