Oh My…

Inspiration often comes from random sources.  The sections of this dance are inspired by these brief phrases from books Ellen Sinopoli read over the years:

  1. That night she dreamt of sapphire elephants
  2. Peaches looked like tastings of a sunset
  3. Tell the truth, but tell it slant
  4. This early piece of morning is mine
  5. God picked you up to have a look and then let you go again
