A lone fawn might not need your help – leave it alone
HUDSON VALLEY – A White-tailed fawn, approximately 10 weeks old, was a cause of unnecessary concern for Poughkeepsie residents who were concerned for the deer’s safety last week.

Walking to and Fro to Eye Dance, Sky and Sculpture
<First published online in the New York Times on July 8, 2008>. BEACON, N.Y.. To return to Merce Cunningham’s choreography, no matter how good or bad any other dance you may have been watching of late, is to have the palate cleansed.

<First published online in the New York Times on December 8, 2008>. BEACON, N.Y.. “Love consists in this,” the poet Rilke wrote in a famous passage, “that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.” On Saturday and Sunday the choreographer Merce Cunningham’s two Events at Dia:Beacon began with multiple solitudes: all 14 of his dancers pacing around a huge L-shaped space (the audience sat on two outer sides of the L, facing a Sol LeWitt white sculpture on the inner side), all doing more or less the same steps but never at the same time and never making connections.
