Where are you now...: Chicago (IL) , Trinidad (West Indies), Providence (RI)

Update on my professional activities, and more!: Meida Teresa McNeal received her M.F.A. in Choreography from Ohio State University ('00) and her PhD in Performance Studies at Northwestern University ('07). Meida's research combines the fields of critical/performance ethnography and choreography to interrogate black and brown cultural nationalisms across the Americas. Her current scope of work crosses three overlapping axes: mapping local/global formations and circulations of cultural performance; developing collaborative scholarship models and content; and integrating digital scholarship methodologies alongside written and performed modalities. Across these threads, she seeks to enrich possibilities for conceiving performance as a way of knowing and to broaden the continuum of formats through which we develop, disseminate and digest scholarship.

I'm sorry our conversation got cut short awhile ago and, of course, I lost you number! Anyway let's talk again soon. What are you up to next year? I might know of something you'd be interested in. Give me a call

It's so good to hear what you have been up to. Dancing for you was one of the best experiences I had dancing, and I think about your project when new friends ask me what I did in my "old life." Anyway, it's good to see you, even if it's only on the computer.
Love,
Katy

I have referenced Dance Forms of the African Diaspora to several employers as a pivotal moment in my dance training when I had that moment of awakening and inspiration. Thank you Maida.

I thought I would see you at Urban Bush Women/Jant Bi this past weekend? At any rate, write soon and hopefully we can get together.

Love,
Mikey

Do you know Carrie Brueck (Kenyonite) is here in her second year? I love the smallness of our world.

Fill me in...
