THE VLOG

She moved to the San Francisco Bay Area after graduation to work at a firm for 7 months, realizing quickly (after Day 1) that this space wouldn’t suit, & wasn’t giving her even near the soul food & satisfaction that her school experience gave her.  She traded the office chair in for a position at…

Kelly’s work has been a constant exploration & evolution.  She found her flow in architecture school at the University of Oregon, a top-rated architecture school, which prided itself on it’s emphasis of design & theory.  She nearly minored in dance here as well, as she found herself feasting in her explorations of space & movement…

Dirty Kelly is a term of endearment for a young girl who liked to:jump in the lakeeat s’moresdo handstands, &spill on her shirt I truly believe that when we’re not afraid to “get dirty” is when we feel our best somewhere…when we let ourselves be free to run, play, take risks, be spontaneous, laugh at…

This speaks more truth than most things. #resonate.

This is what I’m trying to say. This is what I’ve been trying to say the whole time. PANCAKE FACE. (sometimes actions speak louder than words). photo from https://d-i-a-b-o-l-i-q-u-e-s.tumblr.com    

Hi. How are you? I’m 45, & sometimes I find myself wondering where I am “on the journey”. I didn’t take the one-way bus ticket. I got the kind where you hop on & hop off at your leisure.  I got the one with the “choose your own adventure” setting. It’s been fascinating & colorful.…

There were moments of feeling oppressed & mute… A bit of a ping-pong whirlwind dance. But, slowly thru breath, movement, & awareness, she got back into…

What the heck is movement, really?! This is what I asked myself when I was designing my “Movement Therapy Center” in 2000 for my BIARCH Thesis Project.  Such a simple & obvious concept, & yet so abstract and all-encompassing at the same time. I wondered why I had this hunger to design a “Movement Therapy…

I love thinking about the body in physics terms…almost more like an inanimate object that we can play with; not to disconnect, but actually to give more freedom & range of motion in how we move.  When we reconnect with the BARE BONES physics of it all, & get out of all of our sensations…

I’m more interested in the BASS CLEFF. Less interested in the fine tunings. More interested in the GUTS, the Meat, the Heart; the Real Deal.  You could say, the Primal & Raw experiences (like birth!), opposed to the pretty pictures; the veneer. Why?
