Many of you have taken classes with me at the beautiful space I have run in Los Angeles for the past 14 years. We closed this space this weekend. Instead of running a studio I'll be coaching and consulting one-on-one, and sometimes leading seminars at other venues. I'm so grateful to the people who made this beautiful studio possible. THANK YOU first to those who helped us do the big job of clearing it out. THANK YOU to those who were there at the beginning and along the way to build out the space and make it work - designing and building risers, getting on ladders to staple in acoustic material, the incredibly generous donations of professional lighting equipment and its installation, building sets and flats and painting them over and over (until I settled on that red that stayed forever...), finding us ingenious props and the bar that became our centerpiece, and so many more creative and loving details that made the space vibrant and useful and gave it its heartbeat. And finally - principally - essentially - THANK YOU to the people who came, who took classes and workshops, and attended shows and screenings and parties and Q&As (and the wonderful people who gave the Q&As!!!!) - you who came, you were the studio, you made it a good place to be. I'm still here if you need me, I'll keep coaching and writing and posting (stay tuned!) but you were the ones who gave it life, who made it a studio.
