1990s overview:

My dances from the 1990s began with two significant works, The Path Between and Connoisseurs of Chaos,  the first of which built upon my newer interest in combining video imagery with live dance, and the second of which continued my fruitful collaboration with composer David Borden and explored my interest in creating dance works inspired by issues in physics. 

International travels also marked this decade: to Greece in 1990, where I performed a program of solo works by Gay Delanghe, Catlin Cobb, and myself at the Anemo Theatro in Mikonos; to Kyoto, Japan in 1993, where I performed in a program of dances in collaboration with Heidi Durning; to San Jose, Costa Rica in 1999, where I set a version of Unfold/Entwine on the Danza Abend Company. 

The death of my father in 1992 led to a major work, Dance for Eighteen, from which I subsequently distilled the solo, Kaddish.  My marriage to Lawrence Weiner in 1994 and the birth of our daughter Annabel in 1995 opened up new worlds, and in 1996 I created the solo Upswell in tribute to Annabel. 

Commissions from various University of Michigan units led to other works, including Portrait of Françoise and North of Here, both commissioned by the UM Museum of Art; Mondrian Boogie and Dark Matter, both commissioned by the UM School of Art; Quaternity, commissioned by UM Friends of Bell Tower; commissioned choreography for The Shattered Mirror, a percussion opera composed by Michael Udow and performed at the International Percussion Arts conference in Orlando, Florida; Unfold/Entwine, commissioned by the International Computer Music Conference; and A Hot Topic, set to text by Margaret Atwood and funded by the UM Institute for the Humanities.
