"Peachy Deegan and I met at a special event over a year ago when I was performing on stilts in one of Alice Farley’s beautiful sculptural costumes. She approached me with a clear interest in the work I was doing. After telling her about Alice Farley Dance Theater, she asked about my other performance work. I was immediately struck by her very straightforward and direct approach. Here was a woman who knew what she wanted and sought out details in a focused way.
I subsequently visited her website and was amazed by the depth of her knowledge of everything from grammar to fashion to the arts.
I am honored to have recently been featured in “Movers and Shakers.” In much of today’s media, it is challenging for non-mainstream performing artists and small to mid-sized dance companies to gain press attention. Peachy Deegan’s thoughtful interview enabled me to share myself and my work with a wider audience. I am grateful to her for including me and for her interest in and support of my Art."
