Yes, a strong, in-depth interview and how there's a universality in Isabella Boylston's insights about aging and opening ourselves to trust our instincts. Dancers are particularly vulnerable to negative self-judgement and I thank you for bringing this to the foreground and for Boylston bringing this to light. I learn so much for your writing.

Thank you, Jean! I enjoyed this conversation a lot, and thought she was so open. Learned a lot.

Wow, Marina, what a great interview, I’m so grateful to have read this. It makes me sad that I missed her shows this season. I’ll make a point to see her this fall. I think I’ve only seen her in Don Q maybe five years ago? I’ve lost track. I’m struck by that instinctive moment, her hand on Siegfried’s face, that blossoming of intuitive trust and action, where the dancer inside the form is somehow free. I aspire to that, in my own way. Thanks for sharing this.
