New Podcast Episode about the Intimacy Field, and Working in Florida

Larry Elkin of Palisades Hudson and I have been talking about recording this podcast for awhile, and we finally did it!

In this episode of “Something Personal” Larry and I, with host Amy, talk about the “what” and “how”, as well as the Florida-particular “where” of working as an Intimacy Coordinator and Intimacy Director.

There are also shout-outs to Thinking Cap Theatre’s “Lizzie” and “Cymbeline”, my big fall projects.

"Integrating Consent Practices in Dance Education"

I am especially honored to be mentioned by name, with several citations and with the words, "Perry has taken a particularly leading role..."in this article in the latest issue of the Journal of Dance Education. Thank you. Being seen in this way means so much.

Also glad to see Intimacy Direction in Dance included and to be alongside my colleagues Rocío Mendez, Adi Cabral, and Brooke M. Haney.

The article is available to NDEO members or if your institution has access to Taylor and Francis journals here.

Dancing with an Ex?

Dance Magazine offers some perspectives and advice with their new article, featuring some words of wisdom from me.

My favorite: Keeping things professional is essential, even in a workplace that emphasizes expressivity. “We’re constantly tapping into our emotions to tell a story,” Perry says. “That mindset of ‘I’m at work now’ is really important.
