i enjoy your fighting spirit. it has led me to a deeply somatic place where i have done some much needed soul searching.

before responding i felt compelled to consult my horoscope as rob brezsny sees it. he is usually right on and today is of course the vernal equinox.

he writes:

“People with a fraction of your savvy and resources may try to manipulate you into serving their aims. Politely ignore their pressure. This is a time when you should be enjoying your hard-earned goodies with pure relish, not worrying about them or defending them or trying to adjust them to fit anyone else’s specifications.”

with this in mind please understand why cordial decline your invitation to scrap. i do look forward to future exchanges with you. tonya plank, kristin sloan and i are planning an online reading group that will start will a critique of andre lepecki’s “exhausting dance: performance and the politics of movement”. this would be a great opportunity for us to share ideas in a more constructive and conscientious manner.

regarding this current clash of opinions we should simply agree to disagree. i say tomato and you say potato.
