Reading Patricia Chen’s words describing the varied, inescapable and remarkable trajectory of her life and artistic career makes me feel quite humble. It’s clear she is a true, abiding artist, and she shows by example that when it comes to finding an outlet for an organically brilliant and inescapable gift of creativity that someone like her she possesses, an artist will find a way. In this day and age, I sometimes feel close to despair about the state of the arts in society, but it is so heartening to read about someone like Patricia — a pure and giving artist, and clearly dedicated to nurturing not only her own creative destiny, but to helping others pursue their passions for dance and art and movement and the choreographic process. She is an international treasure and a beacon of light, and it’s wonderful that ‘Where Dance is’ is focusing on unsung artistic heroes like her.

I so believe in life outside of institutions for the creative life, and for me, this is where the the most refreshing creative expressions exist with the greatest degree of compassion and empathy towards all who dare to be true to their passions as dancers and dance makers. Also, a high degree of poetry and integrity because one can be true to their own vision with no need to conform to the existing paradigm. One can create the container one believe best suits the moment, and this container can grow and evolve as one grows and evolves as an artist. Awesome share! Thanks! Misa
