Dancers among us
“The inspiration for this book came to me one afternoon as I watched my son, Hudson, playing with his toy bus. I was trying to keep pace with his three-year-old mind as he got deeper and deeper into a fantasy involving nothing more than a yellow plastic box and armless figurines. At least that’s what I saw. He saw frantic commuters rushing to catch the 77 local bus to Australia. He jumped in place, mouth open and slapping his knees, joyously reacting to a world I couldn’t see, but one powerfully present for him.” “What happens to this enthusiasm, this ability to be wholly present in the moment? “Shortly after playing “bus”, I attended an extraordinary dance performance, and I knew I had found my collaborators. “I’ve created these images for Hudson and his little sister, Salish.
