Favorite quote: “It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” ~Albus Dumbledore
Favorite role: The Man with the Rope from Dame Ninette deValois’ The Rake’s Progress
Favorite costume: Paul Taylor’s Company B. I love everything about that costume. It is very much similar to my regular clothing. Nice shirt tucked in nice long trousers, belt, and white/cream shoes.
Fun fact: I’m convinced a stray breeze can make you sick. It’s called “colpo d’aria”, it’s a very real fear in Italian culture, and no amount of science will talk me out of it.
